McCormick sophomore Jasmin Ali-Diaz spent April 9 running back and forth between two rooms in the Ford Center. She and her teams were virtually presenting their theme park ride designs in two separate national competitions: the University of Florida’s Swamp Thrills and Iowa State University’s Ride Engineering Competition. Ali-Diaz is a co-president of Northwestern’s Theme.
Freshman Musical to virtually premiere “The Theory of Relativity”
The production team of this year’s Freshman Musical hold one of their weekly production meetings via Zoom. Because of the virtual setting, the team does not have to worry about certain aspects of the production process, such as booking spaces.
Northwestern’s annual Freshman Musical traditionally provides first-years with a chance to explore the theatre community on campus. The pandemic has forced the cast and crew to adapt with a virtual show.
This year, the Freshman Musical will put on an interactive livestreamed performance of Brian Hill’s “The Theory of Relativity” on June 4 and 5. The show will premiere through a watch party platform so viewers can have direct communication with the actors involved.
