the fall main-stage show at the university where ryan and i both work was "the cherry orchard" this year. the four-act play took place at the turn of the century in russia on a cherry orchard estate.
as usual, ryan wore many hats: production manager, technical director, lighting designer, and set builder. i designed the costumes and noah helped with everything.

The three of you did an amazing job pulling the show togethers. Set, lighting, costumes, and all the other hats you guys wore turned out fabulous. Kudos, to the little director for keeping everyone on target.
