Lighting&Sound America Online - News: Two Kent State University lighting design students placed first and third place in a national lighting design competition at the 64th annual Southeastern Theatre Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
Senior theatre design major Carly Shiner, of Uniontown, Ohio, placed first in the undergraduate lighting design category for her work on The Rocky Horror Show, held at Kent State in November 2012. She decided to enter the competition after viewing the entrants' work from last year.

Sometimes when I think about there being competitions for theatre-related activities, especially when there are many of them, I think it's a little bit funny, considering there are competitions for everything like cheerleading and soccer and such. What makes one piece of theatre better than another? But then when I think again I think it is actually a good thing to hold event like the Southeastern Theatre Conference, especially when the judges are Tony-award winners. That means you're getting feedback from people who know what they are doing and you are being congratulated on the level of skill with which you executed your craft, so, good for those Kent State girls.
