...task of "doing lights" for a set is a little more solitary and involves a "ludicrous" time commitment, says J. Kent Smith '88, master electrician for this spring's production of The Devil Always Wins. While planning a lighting design, Smith says he also has to take into account the limitations of the equipment as well as "any color that's going to be on stage...
...Adam's noble Hermit, provincially sung by an all East European cast. The Freischutz production further suffered from Joachim Herz's relentlessly proletarian staging.

The mini-kickline near...
...truly show shopping numbers. But since the numbers are uniformly quite good, the show never seriously falters. Alexis Position is the one real standout as the snippity angel who makes her entrance in enough gold lame to redo the State House dome, and who secretly longs to have. "The Devil in Me." Strong performances as well come from Anita Mann and Lou Suffer, proving once again that evil is easier to imitate than is virtue...
