The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: No, aliens have not taken over the Glimmerglass campus. Today there wasa welding seminar held in the scene shop for people to learn how toweld. I had the honor of attending and trying my own hand at it. Thehelmets have tinted glass in them, many times more dark than yourordinary pair of sunglasses. This is used so you can look at the weldwithout damaging your eyesight. Here you see MIchael demonstrating someof the more advanced welding techniques for some of the stage ops.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: Who would I have thought that I could try my hand at sports photographythis summer? I didn't, but the Festival participates in a softballleague against other businesses in the area. Yesterday, we won the game23 to 8 against the Better Batters team. Anyone who works at the theatercan participate, including management, technicians and the singersthemselves, such as Adam Diegel, who plays Don José in Carmen, is seenon top hitting a home run during the bottom of the forth inning. Belowhim is Mike, the Technical Director Intern, throwing the ball to firstbase, and on the bottom is the enthusiastic crowd cheering on our team.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The other day, I was going around campus taking photos of some preshowactivities when I came across this view. I had been searching for a goodway to get a photograph of people under the trees picnicking, but it wasalways tough because the background would always be blown out if Iexposed for the picnickers. I then came up on this scene and knew thatit would turn out if I made them into semi-silhouettes against thebright background. The part that really strikes me though is how thetree trunks divide the image into four different scenes, each telling astory.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: I took this photo of the Alice Busch Opera Theater a few weeks ago during the intermission of Annie Get Your Gun. I enjoy how you can see people enjoying the festival grounds on the lovely summer day, such as the two women strolling along the path, the family relaxing by the pond and the people enjoying the view of the mountain from the balcony. The trees on the sides of the photo frame the shot as well as give you hint of what the festival is like beyond the frame of the photo. I also like how you can see the open walls of the theater, which I think is one of the coolest aspects of it. William Brown
