Behind the Scenes This year was the most exciting year the MSU Theatre Department has had. The plays performed required professional skills to have the impact and life that was brought to the stage. Although the actors played a big role in the production and execution of the shows, the plays were made possible by the efforts of the people that we never saw: set designers, artists, lighting technicians, make-up artists, costume designers and many others. Although these people put a great deal of time and effort into their work, they were often rewarded only by their own personal satisfaction of doing their job well. Without the sets and lighting to enhance the performers, these shows would not have had the success that has kept the MSU The- atre Department alive and performing. OTHOXRSSMamH! 28 Bi FEATURES
