Weekly Wes Celeb:
Brian Cheigh '00 By Rebecca
Schiff |
|
| |
|
Okay Brian. I have to find out something interesting
about you.
What if I say something about Justice For Janitors?

Yeah. I just want to tell other students to get involved
because I’ve been getting some emails... it seems like they’re really close
to getting something accomplished. What I hear is that all
they basically need is for Bennet to put in a push, and
I think Initial will take initiative to accept the contract... I don’t
know if you want to put this in the WesCeleb.

of Ben Clark’s ’00 stage lighting design for Second Stage has probably
been overlooked by the average viewer. Or perhaps Clark’s work has been
so seamlessly put together, it went undetected. Personal reactions may
vary, but the US Institute of Theater Technology (USITT)...
