My name is Dorothy Devereaux. I am one of very few people of color in the new industry of America known as the “movie business”. Do I take pride in my position? You better believe it. I work with one of the most well known inventors and industry pioneers in the country; T. Ashkenazy. He […]
Hey guys! Just thought I’d chip in a little bit to the conversation. As a set painter, I’m not part of the cast (unfortunately my acting skills are negligible), but I’ve been working hard with the other set painters, designers, and builders to make the Reynolds stage ready for action. For the past week or […]
Two months ago I believed that Ragtime was not your every day kick-ball-change musical, drowning in sequins and the clatter of character shoes. I believed that Ragtime had a message to communicate, and that it was a message that the Duke community needed to hear, and would be bowled over when they heard it. Two […]
Are you there Duke? Can you hear us? Sometimes—actually all of the time—it can be difficult for a student organization or event on Duke’s campus to really stand out. This isn’t surprising. Think of how often we are bombarded with concerts, speakers, events, parties, and so much more. It can be, at best, extremely overwhelming. […]
I don’t think I have ever been a part of a musical to this extent in my life. Not only is the cast extensive, but the amount of people included in the tech aspect of the show, the music, the press, everything, is overwhelming! I am very excited to be a part of such a project. […]
Looking over my theatrical resume, I can count 23 musicals that I’ve performed in. Pretty nerdy or pretty impressive? I can’t even decide. Some of these musical productions have been bigger (and some have been better) than others, but one thing remains true: never have I ever been in a musical that quite compares in […]
I am in love with the set design for Ragtime. My feelings can be summed up with a single photograph and an astute observation from a fellow classmate. Allow me to share. I agree with Joanna. This stage should be at least … 3 times bigger.
“appropriation revitalization”
I’m excited about this production of Ragtime and to work with everyone involved. I’m working on remembering everyone’s names; promise!! This is the third show I’ve stage managed (Into the Woods and Aida for HnH), and the prospect of such a large show is both wonderfully exciting and maybe a little bit intimidating. I think […]
As I sat down to write this post I realized I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write. So as any college student would do, I turned to Google. I didn’t expect typing “Ragtime Props” into the search engine would yield any mind blowing results but what I found turned out to […]
