than the theater department to
put this show on. Students, in
the Digital Multimedia and
Communications department
are producing animated back
grounds for the video game
sequences. “We’re going to
have rear projections for this
show that simulate an online
game,” Eikrem said. “We’re
working on how we’re going to
bring that to life in front of the
audience!”
Thomas Wasson is a digi

been working with students,
helping to make some of the
projections that will be shown
on the screen to simulate a

Wasson said in an email about
the play. He’s read over the
play several times, and is inter

react.

Clayton Hiatt is a student work
ing on Requisition of Doom
who acts in the play, designed
the poster and is helping with
the graphics. He hopes that
when people see this play,
they come away with «a
changed view of gaming
and its role in society.
“It’s very different from
any of the other plays
out there,” Hiatt said.
“It’s, a complete new
experience compared to
the rest of the plays. I
would hope they come
back with a new feel

here at CCC.”
