COLUMBUS (wosu) -
The American Contemporary Theater Company--CATCO---opens its new season In October with "Escanaba in Love",a play by actor Jeff Daniels.

There is, of course, a cast of terrific actors bringing the production to life on The Capitol One Theater stage and a cast of characters of a sort,. behind the scenes designing sets, lighting and costumes...without whose expertise the show would not go on.

We recently attended a "Dress Parade" ...a kind of costume review and met with some of these talented people to talk about their work.

We talked with Cheryl Ruschau a member of the CATCO Staff and Stage Manager for "Escanaba in Love"; David Atkinson, a Freelance Artist who is a Lighting Designer for "Escanaba in Love"; Keya Myers-Alkire of the CATCO Staff aMaster Electrician/Sound Engineer and Sound Designer for "Escanaba in Love";
Tatjana Longerot a member of the CATCO Staff and the Costume Shop Manager;
Stephanie Gerckens a Freelance Artist and Set Designer for "Escanaba in Love";
Edie Wadkins a Freelance Artist and the Scenic Artist for "Escanaba in Love".


CATCO's "Escanaba in Love" opens October 15 in the Capitol One Theater in the Riffe Center downtown.
