We traveled to Detroit this weekend to honor Andy as a candidate for a Masters of Fine Arts degree, technical theater, lighting design. I guess technically, the Theater Arts MFA candidates still haven't completed their degree work so officially haven't been awarded their sheepskin. He has several more weeks of work to do. But it was graduation weekend for Wayne State University so in conjunction, the Theater Arts Department held their Graduate Showcase and Appreciation night and presented awards. Andy decided not to walk in the University's formal graduation ceremony, so the above picture hanging in the lobby of Hilberry Theatre with the paper mortarboard is the closest we'll come to seeing him in graduation attire for now.
In the lobby, he had a display of his impressive portfolio of various works. Then on Saturday night, we watched the preformance of Translations, a play that Andy had done the lighting design for. It has been a long three years filled with a lot of hard work and sacrifice. We sure are proud of what he has accomplished.

Congratulations to Andy!
The inevitable question: Now what?
That's a very good question! Maybe Andy could give us an update on his current options.
I'm still waiting to hear from a performing arts center in Bristol, TN. But if that falls through, then I'll head to a camp in Maryland for the summer.
So...if you can't get a job, you're going to camp.
I'm not sure you understand this adulthood thing.
adulthood, who said anything about adulthood? You of all people should know that old doesn't mean grown up.
oh, and just fyi, the camp is a job too. I'd be the technical manager for a 600 seat theater and events around camp.
What he failed to add; it's a Jewish girls camp. Sounds like a plan to me.....
Well, except for the Jewish girl aspect, it sounds like a great gig. I'm sure the TN job is the preference though. Good luck.
