So far...

So far i have been researching out the wazoo. I'm finally getting a step into the mud by creating interview questions for the people I work with a City Theatre.
I'm also creating a interview over email for Mr. Ringold who has experience with plays theatres and possibly designing.
I just need to find a place within Pittsburgh that would possibly mentor me for a week or to so i can get more individual professional opinions.

Grad Project Assignment

The goals are based out before you by a group of people that consists of:
Parents, teachers, school board members, and members of the community.
This group evaluates the organization, content, delivery and ability to come up with questions to go along with their topic. They are also evaluated on the reason given why this person thinks he/she deserves to graduate.
The students got engaged into their ideas just as I did, think about what I wanted to do for my graduation project. Then researched, they take it to the advanced by getting involved, like one student research the muscular system and the nervous system about how massages help relieve stress and tension, so he was mentored by a nurse, and later see if he had “The Touch”.
