Every year, the Senior Musical Theatre students at the University of Michigan write and perform a show welcoming the Freshman into their program.
MT22 is the first Senior Entrance to ever feature lighting design. As a huge fan of their tradition of senior entrances, I could not believe my luck in being asked to help make a little UMich-MT history.
The best surprise was seeing the team take the time to submit their careful script to YouTube for closed captioning, which deserves both praise and a call out for more creators to take this kind of time for accessibility.
It was an honor to help elevate the production value for these conscientious artists.
