When reading the article, I definitely agreed with Kira Corbin that when looking at images of food in magazines we never think of where the props come from. What a cool job to design the environment for the food to live on and be around. Its a completely different creative process I must imagine to be given a recipe and decide on the environment for that dish to live in. I think I would initially love having this job, but overtime it would get too boring and repetitive for me. Some of Kira's other work on her website is neat to look through. I'm definitely going to look at photos of food differently from now on.
It's nice to see where a theatre company started and how it's grown over the years, but the transition that Little Lake Theater is going to be going through is very difficult. To transition from a family who has kept things going through their own force of will to a company who has a new artistic and managing director will take time to get things running smoothly. It'll be very interesting to see how involved the family stays involved with the company in the coming years as well as how the company moves forward/away from the family. But kudos to the Little Lake theater for all of their work over the past years and what they've done in the world. We'll see what happens to them in the next few years.
What a lovely article for some lovely people. I have worked at The Little Lake Theater for the past three summers and have been going to their shows since I was a little kid. In fact, I believe that every person in my family has made an appearance on the Little Lake's stage! As wonderful as the company is, and Rob and Sunny are both incredibly kind and dedicated, I think the business end of the theater could use some serious improvements, and I'm excited to see how the theater grown under new management! Even within the past year or so, the company has improved their website, created a facebook page, and made ticket sales more accessible to the community, and it has been really successful so far! The Little Lake is run mostly by volunteers, and I am always amazed at how dedicated community members can be. As a designer, I was paid, but there were always volunteers offering to help out in any way they could. Although Rob, Sunny, and their giant dog Mr. Wiggums will be gone from the theater, I'm sure the dedication that Sunny's family has had to the theater will live on for a long time to come!
