  • Alumni Memories
    Theatre Circle INSIGHTS Special Edition - Fall 2009 Indiana University Department of Theatre and Drama Alumni Memories DeAnna D. Rieber, BA’81, reports that the “IU and the Drama Department opened up my whole world!” She shared fond memories of many wonderful teachers, includ- ing Chair R. Keith Michael “an amazing teacher,” drama teacher Marilyn Norris - “she was fabulous, and like so many other students, Bill [William] Kinzer. I found out later in life that my father had Mr. Kinzer when he attended IU many years before.” Nancy Kierspe Carlson, BA’58, has wonderful stories to tell about the Brown County Playhouse and “those wild rides down to Nashville in a covered truck in the summer of 1957.” She writes, “Richard K. Knaub, who taught at I.U. and designed the lighting at the playhouse, would drive the cranky truck; and in the back were, honest-to-gosh, ten rickety folding chairs…five aligned on each side, attached to nothing, free to bounce wherever the bumps took them.” She also noted that today that would never happen - and she is right! THANK YOU, alumni, for responding to our request for your memories! This is a great start in our quest to collect stories, Special thanks to Theatre Circle for support of this color edition photos, and memorabilia that will tell our collective story for of STAGES which includes generations to come.

(December 2009) Andrea Schweikhard Robison, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Antonio La Pastina Project Runway premiered on Bravo TV on December 1st, 2004, and is now in its sixth season, which aired on Lifetime. On Project Runway, designer contestants live together in apartments in downtown New York for the duration of filming and work on weekly challenges at Parsons The New School for Design. I am interested in determining the ways in which reality shows like Project Runway both allow and restrict the display of gender and sexual identity for contestants through the construction of a social order. This study is a textual analysis of all five currently released seasons of Project Runway. I draw from theories of social interaction to provide the interpretive framework for this study.
