<div>On October 15th 2006 Cosmo Catalano, Technical Supervisor<font
face="Lucida Grande" size="-4" color="#000000"> of the '62 Center for
Theatre and Dance</font>, will lead a tour of the new<font
face="Lucida Grande" size="-4" color="#000000"> '62 Center for Theatre
and Dance</font> theater complex at Williams College. We will
start at 1pm. The theater designed by William Rawn
is a Merit winner of the USITT architecture awards. Cosmo
was involved full time in the design and construction of the building
so we will have unique insights on the process from one of our own
members.</div>

<div>Informal background discussion on the theater, the program,
Cosmo's position in the planning and execution of the project and the

<div>A Hands on tour of the project from grid to trap room and
everywhere in between. Questioning encouraged! (as if we had to say
that with this group) Come dressed to explore, not to look
good.</div>
<div>3:45 PM</div>
<div>Wrap up and goodbye</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It should also be prime leaf peeping season., so plan on
converging in Williamstown in on October 15 for an exploration of the
new theaters and a chance to get together and have a great time with
friends & colleagues.</div>
<div>The leaf peepers are likely to be out in force so give yourself
extra time to get to Williamstown.</div>
<div>Please let us know soon if you are planning to come (including
friends & students) just so we have an idea of how many drinks are
needed and how to structure the tour.</div>
