Pre-Set
In theater, the stage and its proscenium are the obvious
frame and container of the action. But often the sound and the lighting
begin their work even the before play begins. Director Lawrence Axsmith
talks about how a "pre-set" draws an audience into the world
of a play. Produced by Jocelyn Gonzales.

told within stories. Produced by Brian Zumhagen.

SPECIAL GUEST
Frank Gehry
is one of today's most visionary and pioneering architects.
He's drawn notice since the 1970's for his deconstructed style, using
unconventional materials and sculptural shapes in his buildings. He designed
the instantly iconic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry's recent
public commissions include the Bard College Performing Arts Center and
the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
