They love it.” With one play in the new Osterman Theatre under their belts, the cast seems ready to tackle Lanford Wilson’s “The Hot L Baltimore.” “It’s fun to explore differ ent characters. My character is nothing like me—she’s kind of insane,” said Deidra MacKimmie, who plays Mrs. Bellotti. “The play shows the surpris ing things about people that we sometimes write off,” said Smith-English. “It’s about what interesting facets people have in their lives.” Utilizing every new tool available to them, Smith-English and his crew have been hard at work to bring the vision and mes- émissions for college art low open to all students izabeth Tobey I Clackamas Print Itudent artwork submis- s are currently being feted for the annual CCC lent Exhibition, which ns with a free opening »ration on May 18 from n to 2 p.m. Lny artwork by currently lied students, created in Lnction with an art class pt at Clackamas within last year is eligible for fission. fork can be turned in at [Art Center Lobby today Itomorrow from 3 p.m, p.m. and Friday from 10 Ito noon.

Baur’s Gallery Management and Design students work on a regular basis to display work in the Alexander Gallery, “but this will be a real extravaganza,” she said. “It’s really a great chance to celebrate what we’ve done here,” Baur said, “and all the students’ hard work.” sage of Wilson’s play to life. “[The set] is certainly larger than anything we’ve been able to do before,” said Smith-English. “The very first thing you’re going to see is the set and how we’ve been able to have elevation on the set. In McLoughlin, if you had stood on a chair, you’d have disappeared into the lights.” Using pictures of old build ings and 1970s-style clothing, the costume designer, set designer and Smith-English were able to create the world in which the play will unfold. This world is the Hotel Baltimore. Once “the most exclu sive medium-sized hotel any where on the Eastern Seaboard line”—according to one of Wilson’s characters—it has fallen slowly into disrepair and become a sort of permanent home to prostitutes, petty thieves and the mildly (and not-so-mildly) psy chotic. “All these people have created a sort of family,” said Smith- English. “[This play] has a lot to do about survival and what we do to survive and be happy. It is very Photos by Brie Daykin Clackamas Print character-driven.” The play opens on May 19.
