A New Thing to Try!

Hello to the Blogosphere! My name is Michael Brown and I am a Theatre major at the University of Northern Iowa. My primary interest is in lighting design and I've created this blog to express my observations about the field, display the work I am currently doing and hopefully connect with other theatre people in the future. Here's to hoping it goes as I hope.

This first blog post finds me in Ithaca, New York, working at the Hangar Theatre as an electrician. We are finishing up the second show of the season, Once on This Island, today and going into changeover into November tonight. As with every tech process it will surely be exciting and long and stressful, but as always, rewarding come opening night. Stay tuned for pictures as we progress through the process.

I also plan to use this blog to post information on all the new projects I am working on. Hopefully I can use it as another way of documentation about my process.

Hopefully I will keep up with this on a regular basis and you yet undiscovered readers will be able to provide feedback to this young designer and technician as I grow and progress through the early phases of my career.

Thanks for Reading and Happy Fourth of July!
