Students who work on projects in the arts combine their creative drive with a desire to learn and experience something new. Arts projects are created, discussed and disemminated for the rest of the University community to enjoy.
Current Quest projects in the arts include:
LTU SODA Presents: Arsenic and Old Lace With the guidance of Dr. David Huntsperger in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Communications ("HSSC") department, Ashley Croft, Timothy Bond, Andrew Yarborough and Rachel Yarborough organized, produced and performed in the LTU SODA (Society of the Dramatic Arts) production of Arsenic and Old Lace. The production timeframe was approximately four months, beginning with auditions mid-January and culminating in three performances in mid-April. The performances took place on April 17, 18 and 19 in S100. To cap the experience, the students are writing a reflective paper regarding their interpretation of the play through acting, directing and set design.
WLTU Media Communications students Scott Maiale, Courtney Bufalini and Jeff Wolka will create a series of webisodes showcasing courses, programs and events on LTU's campus. Prof. Suzanne Levine, the Director of Lawrence Tech's Media Communications program will serve as their guide.
Open Mic Night Everyone has a talent! Student Demetrius Johnson will provide at least two venues for students, faculty and staff to showcase their acting, music, poetic and other talents through the LTU Open Mic Night project. Working with guide Dr. Jason Barrett in the HSSC department, Demetrius will coordinate the planning, promotion and execution of these events.
