MEN’S BASKETBALL LOSES 77-67 TO TOLEDO ROCKETS A contest between the first and second place teams in the Mid-American Conference West division ended with a Toledo victory over Ball State, 77-67. Toledo connected on 56.3 percent of its shots from 3-point range and made it to the free-throw line 22 times. The Rockets scored 45 points from 3-pointers and free throws alone. Ball State had 14 turnovers, and Toledo took advantage, scoring 20 of its points off those turnovers. Junior guard Ryan Weber led the way for the Cardinals with 18 points, shooting 6-8 from behind the 3-point line. Overall, the Cardinals were out-played, trailing in every statistical category besides turnovers, assists and rebounds. The loss keeps Ball State (18-10, 9-6 MAC) in first place in the MAC West, but the win for Toledo (17-11, 8-7 MAC) brings them within another game of that lead. The Cardinals will return to action Saturday at Worthen Arena. Ball State will tip off against Eastern Michigan at 2 p.m. – STAFF REPORTS

It’s not often that a team will defeat both the defending national champion and runner-up in back-to-back nights. Ball State men’s volleyball did that after defeating No. 11 Loyola and No. 14 Lewis last week. The Cardinals boast an 11-3 overall record with a 5-0 Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association record. The recent eight-match win streak has pushed them to No. 9 in the country. While head coach Joel Walton is glad where his team is, “at this moment,” he believes that they “have to be there at

the end of the season.” With Walton at the helm, Ball State has been “there” – marking winning records – in all but two of the past 17 seasons. Each year, however, the Cardinals have been over-shadowed by the big three in the conference. For the past 14 seasons, it has been Loyola, Lewis or Ohio State who has finished as the MIVA regular season champions. The first half of this season has opened very similar to the 2002 season, which was the last time the Ball State won the MIVA regular season championship. This is the first time the Cardinals started off the season 3-0 against Lewis, Loyola and Ohio State since that season. Ball State has gotten off to a strong start in the MIVA, as they are the only team who remains undefeated in conference play. The Cardinals 1. CLOUDY

1. OBAMA PUSHES TO CLOSE GUANTANAMO BAY WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s plan to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, slammed into a wall of Republican opposition on Tuesday, stopping cold Obama’s hope for a bipartisan effort to “close a chapter” that began in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. The long-awaited proposal, which was requested by Congress, is Obama’s last attempt to make good on an unfulfilled campaign

The letter was to Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who conducted a death inquiry by phone and certified Scalia’s death. The letter said Scalia’s many “significant medical conditions led to his death,” Ponton said.

SCALIA HAD MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS DALLAS (AP) — Antonin Scalia suffered from coronary artery disease, obesity, diabetes and other ailments that probably contributed to the justice’s sudden death, according to a letter from the Supreme Court’s doctor.

DENVER (AP) — Sue Klebold doesn’t break down in tears anymore when she learns about another mass shooting. The attacks have become too common in the 17 years since her own son killed 12 of his classmates and a teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado. Now, she wonders if the gunman hid weapons at home the way her son did. Whether there were warning signs like the ones she missed.

Apple’s effort would move the contentious policy debate between digital privacy rights and national security interests to Congress, where Apple — one of the world’s most respected technology companies — wields considerably more influence.
Most painfully, Klebold wonders if the shooter used images of her son and details of his crime as a model to gain fame through the slaughter of innocent people. Klebold spoke to The Associated Press a week after the release of her memoir, “A Mother’s Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy,” exploring the causes of her son’s violence and ways to prevent future attacks through mental health awareness.

Each employee usually completes the same tasks in the donut making process each day, but sometimes the roles are changed. Daniel Phillips said they typically become specialized in one job, and it makes things run more smoothly in the shop.
Laura Lawrence frosts cake donuts on a Saturday morning at Deluxe Donuts. Lawrence has worked at the shop for about two and half years and said she is the fastest at frosting the donuts.

HALYOMORPHA HALYS
S
tink bugs can be a menace in gardens and inside homes, but the small insects have made their way around campus, as well. Although they can’t sting or bite you, stink bugs are known for the characteristic smell they emit through holes in their abdomens as a defense mechanism. Local Orkin pest control consultant Jeff Brite said he’s seen his fair share of stink bugs in and around Muncie, and while it’s not infrequent for him to get calls about the bugs, he prefers to educate customers before attempting to exterminate. “They can’t hurt you, but they can be a real nuisance,” Brite said. “There’s nothing to really be afraid of, but they are something to educate yourself about if you’re seeing them around a lot.”
What are they?
There are 4,700 species of stink bugs in the world, with about 250 in the U.S. and Canada, according to North Dakota State University. Muncie’s most common is the brown
STINK BUGS: everything you need to know CASEY SMITH CRIME REPORTER
marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). “It got its name from the brown marble pattern on its back,” Brite said. “If you want to know if it’s actually a stink bug, look for a five-sided, shieldshaped body and if it’s about the size of your thumb nail.”
How did they get here?
Purdue reported in 2010 that stink bugs had been identified in Indiana. As opposed to native strains of stink bugs found, this exotic pest is originally from Japan, China and Korea and was first reported in the United States in 1998 in Pennsylvania. “I first started getting a lot of questions and calls about five years ago,” Brite said. “They’re most prominent in the fall, but once winter hits, they start making their presence known inside the home.” Stink bugs are now found in more than 40 states.
Why are they coming inside?
Stink can live for six months to a year, so some people get them in their houses during the winter, and they’ll hibernate while it’s warm, Brite said. “If you have an indoor problem with stink bugs, it’s most likely because of the types of trees surrounding your house or your dorm room,” Brite said. “The bugs tend to like to eat the leaves and seeds from the black locust, maple, ash and catalpa trees.” While they’re annoying, Brite said they cannot cause any significant structural or cosmetic damage to homes, but if not managed, they can congregate in large groups and begin flying around open areas inside.
How do I kill them?
Managing stink bugs can be challenging because there are currently few effective pesticides labeled for use against them.
|
casmith11@bsu.edu
For homeowners, Brite suggests a simple, nontoxic mix of soapy water (1:2 soap to water) in a household spray bottle. “They’re real touch and go this time of year,” Brite said. “If they’re in your house or dorm, they probably haven’t eaten in several months, so they’re easier to kill.”
When they die, will they stink?
Leaving large numbers of stink bugs in hard to reach places may attract other pests such as carpet beetles or mice, Brite said. When the bug finds a site that’s suitable for hibernation, it releases a chemical scent that attracts other stink bugs to the area. “This isn’t the same thing that makes them stink, though,” Brite said. “The stink bug’s smell is a defense mechanism against birds and other insects, but just holding the bug, injuring it, or trying to move it around
can cause it to release the smelly odor.” Killing a stink bug will not attract more of the bugs, however, Brite said.
How do I keep them out of my house?
Prevention in the fall is key, Brite said. For houses, sealing all cracks around windows, doors, siding, utility pipes, behind chimneys and underneath the wood and other openings with high quality silicone or silicone-latex caulk should keep the stink bugs out. “If you begin to find them in your house, they’re really hard to get rid of quickly because they’ll hide in cracks and crevices for months” Brite said. “If they’re constantly in your dorm room, you may want to consider remove the window air conditioners, repairing any broken screens outside of the window and using duct tape to seal the cracks and edges around the window pane.”
Some students said they see stink bugs in various places around the campus, but dorm rooms are a hot spot for them. “I’ve seen the bugs, usually once every few days, but I mainly see them in my dorm room,” said Clinton Green, a freshman actuarial science major. “Personally, I’m not a fan of insects, but I would say I feel uncomfortable by the presence of stink bugs.” Green, a resident in Mysch/Hurst, was not alone in his thinking. Freshman animation major Madison Aschliman said that she has seen stink bugs crawling around her room in multiples. “They’re hard to get rid of, and my parents have them in their house and you can never really get all of them,” Aschliman said. “They are gross, and I really don’t want them crawling around.” If students are seeing larger than average numbers of stink bugs in dorm rooms or around campus, Brite suggested contacting Ball State maintenance for further guidance and assistance.

ALEXANDRA SMITH GENERAL REPORTER ajsmith9@bsu.edu
For the sixth year in a row, Ball State’s speech team received the state champion title from the Indiana Forensic Association. The team was crowned the 2016 winners Sunday. Other honors include winning 17 out of 18 individual state titles and winning the Quality Award for the third year in a row. They competed against five other universities: Marian University, Ivy Tech University, Butler University, Purdue University and University of Indianapolis to win the title. Lauren Seitz, a senior French and English major, won three state titles. She won extemporaneous speaking, after dinner speaking and was named impromptu speaking champion. She also won the scholarly essay contest. Seitz won novice impromptu speaking her freshman year and extemporaneous speaking last year. “The best part about the state tournament was at awards when I was realizing that we had won so many state titles,” Seitz said. “Winning three state titles was a great way to cap off my senior year.” Seitz said she’s most proud of the novice members and how well they did in their first year on the team. Mariann Fant, a freshman organizational communication major, won novice dramatic interpretation champion and novice informative speaking champion.

Ball State will host the competition. She said much of the team’s success comes from the commitment each member makes and its coaches, Mary Moore, Ashley Coker, Mike Storr, Zoe Russell, Spencer Coile, Berkley Conner and Huy Pham. “We are extremely hard workers,” Fant said. “[Being on the speech team is] a lot of hard work and commitment. In addition, we have such an amazing coaching staff that is dedicated to helping us become the best speakers we can be.” She said it was great to see individual achievement throughout the whole team at the competition. Sarah Martin, a freshman English education major, won duo interpretation champion and novice prose champion. She said it was truly amazing to be a state champion. “I could hardly believe it,” Martin said. “Winning is fun because I work so hard in my speeches, so it’s nice to be rewarded for that work.” All three members, Seitz, Fant and Martin, said they enjoy the closeness of the team. Fant and Martin said it’s like being part of a family.

The Shafer Leadership Academy is focusing on connecting different generations in the workplace environment with a workshop next month. “Fusion: Leading MultiGenerational Teams” provides people of all ages and backgrounds the tools to develop and enhance their leadership skills, according to the website. Mitch Isaacs, executive director at Shafer, said Ball State students would benefit from the workshop because some of the people attending are the types of people who may one day supervise them. “It’s very helpful for you to understand that when you step into a work place, that many managers already have a perception of you as a young person,” Isaacs said. The workshop has been going on for five years and happens every February or March. In addition, the workshop travels to different cities and companies a few times during the year, Isaacs said. “[Companies] understand that it benefits them to know how to work with a millennial, how to attract them because they want talent like any company and how to work them and keep them once they are there,” Isaacs said. Qiana O’Neal is the executive director at the Roy C. Buley Community Center and has participated in the workshop. With her position, she said it is important to work with multi-generations.

“Fusion: Leading Multi-Generational Teams” is a program that provides people of all ages and backgrounds the tools to develop and enhance their leadership skills. The workshop has been going on for five years and travels to different cities and companies a few times a year. The group works out of the Shafer Leadership Academy, which focuses on connecting different generations in the workplace.
• A ppreciation of each of the four major generational groups active in the workplace today • Overview of the challenges and opportunities multigenerational teams present • Insights regarding world views, needs, and skills sets of the various generations • Understanding of how to facilitate collaboration among multi-generational group members
“This course is beneficial, causing leaders of all ages to think, prioritize their shared values and leverage the perspectives and capacities of all generations to achieve progress social change together,” O’Neal wrote in an email. Isaacs describes the workshop as interactive, with participants playing games, talking in small group discussions and an-
alyzing case studies. “The basic idea is generational differences are real, they influence how we think about work and its valuable to understand them and recognize them,” Isaacs said. The workshop, which takes place March 2, is expected to draw a variety of people from nonprofit organizations, manufacturers, banking, marketing and hospitals.
Isaacs has invited marketing students from an immersive learning class to attend the workshop for free.

Todd said the university plans to release information about mumps
and how to prevent it, but these communications were not available by press time. Nancy Wagner, a public health and communicable disease control nurse at the Delaware County Health Department, said Indiana has not experienced an outbreak of a communicable disease since the measles outbreak at the Super Bowl in 2012. “We always have plans in
place in case of any kind of outbreak of diseases,” Wagner said. In 2014, eight cases of the mumps were reported, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. A vaccination for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) is available at the Health Center. According to admission requirements, proof of two MMR vaccines is required before becoming a student.

Shane Witmer has always made his teammates laugh. A jokester, he calls himself. Witmer was a four-year starter for the Ball State men’s volleyball team. Just a year removed from graduation, he’s back on the court at Worthen Arena as a volunteer assistant coach for the Cardinals while working on his master’s degree in accounting. As a player, Witmer always tried to keep the team loose on the floor. He’s just an easygoing guy, team members say. Witmer has carried the same attitude into coaching. After all, he was good friends with a lot of the guys on the team. He even roomed with some of them. One of the biggest differences for Witmer as a coach is trying to get the players to take him seriously, he said. The transition from starting outside attacker to assistant coach in less than a year has been hard for Witmer, but it’s one that he’s come to enjoy. “I think a lot of the guys respect me because they know I want them to be really good this year and know I want them to get
better,” Witmer said. “I think when I do [step in to help them], I think they really do listen. Even though maybe they’ll [laugh].” Ball State had an average year during his freshman season, but Witmer helped elevate the Cardinals back into the national conversation over the next two years with a combined 4314 record. A lot of the players from those teams are gone, but Witmer serves as a bridge from one generation of players to the next. “The progression has been pretty awesome,” he said. “We’ve had a bunch of really good players; a bunch of guys going over to play in Europe, so that’s cool. But I think it’s almost like a changing of the guard, so to speak.” This year’s team is off to a 11-3 start. With only four seniors, it’s a fairly young team, so with success has come some growing pains. “It’s hard to watch, especially because there’s a lot of young guys on the court right now that don’t have as much experience … So there’s obviously a bunch of me that wants to be out there to help them,” Witmer said. A year ago, Witmer was ready to step away from the game for awhile. His shoulder was injured. His body was tired. He had finished his playing career at Ball State, and he was burned out. But in his season exit in-

The last time the Cardinals won the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association regular season championship was in 2002. This season has started off the same way, but it is the first time they are 3-0 against Lewis, Loyola and Ohio State since 2002.
“It feels awesome. … We definitely deserve these wins,” sophomore middle attacker Matt Walsh said. “We’ve been fighting hard and working hard in practice, and it feels even better that we actually got the wins.” For many years, the West Coast teams dominated the volleyball scene, but there are currently four MIVA teams who have entered the NCAA volleyball top-10 rankings due to the increased popularity in the Midwest. This has made Ball State a top target for upcoming opponents. “It’s a really good start in conference, and now I think we are going to be the front runner, and there’s going to be a big target on our head,” Walton said. Ball State finishes its sixmatch home stretch this week against Quincy (812, 2-5 MIVA) on Thursday and Lindenwood on Friday (2-9, 0-5 MIVA). Although the Cardinals upcoming opponents both sit in the bottom three teams in the MIVA, Walton is not taking them for granted.
terview, the coaches — who knew he would be back for grad school — asked him to serve as this year’s volunteer assistant. They knew he’d be busy with classes but having a familiar face around that could be an intermediary between the coaches and the players would be invaluable. Witmer couldn’t turn down the opportunity. He knew he’d miss the game, and coaching has helped ease the process of letting go. “One, it allows me to help the guys where I can. I think I’m knowledgeable and can help,” Witmer said. “Other times, it’s just nice to be around volleyball, too, because I miss it. I did it for four years. It’s hard, but at least I’m around it.” Sitting on the bench with head coach Joel Walton and assistant coaches Kevin Furnish and Jim Palilonis is better than watching the game from the stands for Witmer, who has built good rapport with all three coaches. He said it’s nice that the coaches trust him to step into match huddles and point out things he sees. Witmer also knows that he can talk to the coaches about anything. “[Palilonis] and [Furnish] can come to me and ask me about anything,” he said. “We can go from talking about volleyball to talking about who knows what.” Walton said sometimes
SHANE WITMER CAREER STATS (2012-2015)
“It doesn’t matter who you’re playing,” Walton said. “Both of those teams are going to be looking to send a message and come out of our gymnasium with a win.” The coach’s mindset is also shared among his players. “It’s really important to keep the mindset that anyone can come out and play at any time, and we really need to focus and key-in on every game,” Walsh said. “We can’t really let up no matter who we are playing.” After taking the first two sets against Lewis (25-23, 2522) on Thursday, Ball State dropped the next two sets (17-25, 16-25), which forced a fifth set at Worthen Arena. That is when the depth of the Cardinals lineup came into play. “Regardless [of whether] you’re a starter or not, we got a lot of guys on the bench that could put in some work and do some great things out there,” junior outside attacker Mike Scannell said. “It’s always great to have someone come out there and take care of business.” During the victory over Lewis, 12 different Ball State players saw action. That same number of play-

CAREER RECORD - 70-42 KILLS - 586 KILLS PER SET - 1.72 TOTAL BLOCKS - 196
Witmer is even more successful than the other coaches in getting the players to work on something. “He is one of their comrades, so to speak,” Walton said. “They seem to be a little more willing to listen to what he has to say because he was always someone that was respected, even if it was because there was a sense of humor and a sarcasm that [Witmer] had.” Witmer says he isn’t sure whether he will coach volleyball in the future. He’s in a one-year master’s program and has a job lined up in Indianapolis. Right now, it’s a one-year commitment, Witmer said. But it’s also something he’ll never rule out. And if it is just a oneyear gig, he’s got the perfect personality to help a young team break out of its shell. Sitting on the bench between sophomores Matt Walsh and Mitch Weiler before the third set against Barton on Feb. 12, Witmer says something that makes both players crack a smile. They may not be his teammates anymore, but Witmer is still making them laugh. MIVC

The lineup depth is very similar to the 2002 roster, which used 13 players regularly, each of them finishing the season recording double-digit sets. Ball State sits at the midway point of its season, with 14 matches remaining. The team’s schedule will not get easier as they have match-ups against No. 4 UCLA and No. 13 University of California-Irvine. They will also face No. 5 Ohio State, Lewis and Loyola one more time each. “It is critical for our offense and serving to continue to improve in order for us to be where we want at the end of the season,” Walton said. The Cardinals next home match is Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against Quincy at Worthen arena.

Students enter competition for chance to travel

MEGAN MELTON GENERAL REPORTER memelton@bsu.edu
Prague, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Berlin, Florence and Paris. 165 teams. One goal: crossing Europe. The catch is that there’s no money or cellphones- only Red Bull. Andrea Goettemoeller, Briona Case and Denise Schwartz, students at Ball State University, are members of the team “’Merica’s Angels” trying to compete in the “Red Bull: Can You Make It?” competition. All teams are made up of college students across the globe and are chosen based on their audition videos. If ‘Merica’s Angels are chosen for the competition, they will get the opportunity to travel around Europe for free, starting on April 12. “Before leaving, you have to give up your money and are given a map, a case of Red Bull and a go-pro camera to record your experiences,” Goettemoeller said. Once the team starts, they have seven days to cross six checkpoints to get to Paris using only Red Bull as currency. Each time a team crosses a checkpoint, they are given a mental or physical challenge. If the team completes the challenge, they receive another case of Red Bull. “When we first looked into the competition, we thought it was a cool idea but didn’t actually consider doing it,” Goettemoeller said, “Not long after we thought, ‘Hey, when are we ever going to get a chance to go to Europe for free in our lives again?’” Goettemoeller said everyone in the competition has an adventurous aspect to them. “You have no idea what you’ll be asked to do.” Goettemoeller said. Whether it’s having to jump off a bridge, sleeping in a train station or having to choose between food and transportation, competitors definitely have to be able to go with the flow. In order to compete, the teams have to be in the top 18 teams for a specific region in the U.S. Then, the judges choose the top four teams from the region to compete. Tiffany Verdon, a marketing major at Ball State and Red Bull representative, got the students
involved in the competition. “To make it to the final round, they have to be in the top 18 when voting stops,” Verdon said. “They are currently in the top 20, but voting continues to get more competitive.” Voting for the competition is on the event website and ends Thursday at 11 a.m. Competing in the challenge takes skill. Not everyone can convince business owners and managers to trade goods and services for energy drinks. “It’s a journey of charm, adventure and strategy,”
‘MERICA’S ANGELS If ‘Merica’s Angels is picked they will find out on March 7 and leave for Europe on April 12. To vote for ‘Merica’s Angels, visit the Red Bull: Can you Make it? website.
Verdon said. Though the winners of the competition are invited to travel across Europe free for the summer, the real reward, Goettemoeller said, is the experiences and memories gathered along the way.

While most would like to forget the awkward but inevitable “birds and the bees” talk, one Ball State professor has declared it his area of expertise. Justin Lehmiller is the director of social psychology graduate program and an instructor of counseling psychology at Ball State. However, he is also a well-known expert on sex. Lehmiller didn’t always intend to study sex. He first wanted to go into journalism before taking an interest in psychology. He went to graduate school at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., to study romantic relationships. “While I was [at Purdue] I got to be a teaching assistant for a human sexuality course,” Lehmiller said. “That experience made me realize that studying sex was even an option.” Kenzie Kuhn, a freshman telecommunications major, notes that sex is an important area of study, though not something she would choose. “I think it’s interesting,” Kuhn said, “I wouldn’t want to do it, but somebody has to.” While sex is a hot topic in the media, there is little understanding of the science that backs up much of what is being taught, Lehmiller said. He wanted to make a contribution to the understudied area. Luckily for Lehmiller, people like talking about sex. He has appeared on Huffington Post, “Business Insider” and
Thought Catalog because of his research on the topic. He also writes a column for “Playboy,” called “Hard Science,” after meeting an editor at an academic conference. “I think [‘Playboy’] is a fantastic platform for teaching a large international audience about human sexuality research,” Lehmiller said. “There is a great hunger out there for accurate information about sex and, unfortunately, there aren’t many sources that ground their information in science.” He has also been a guest on the show “Taboo” on the National Geographic Channel, as well as other programs. Lehmiller filmed his first set for National Geographic in a hotel room
with a green screen behind him. “It was nothing like I expected,” he said. “It wasn’t as glamorous as … the Hollywood experience.” Overall, Lehmiller focuses on giving people information about sex rooted in science. There are many times in popular media when sex studies are sensationalized, and his goal is to fill this void of information with his research and his blog. “My overriding goal is to use science to help people develop happier and healthier sex lives and relationships,” Lehmiller said.

Margaret Morgan and David Ibarra are the only two performers in “Seascape with Sharks and Dancer.” Opening night is tonight at 7 p.m. in the Cave Studio Theatre. The show focuses on a librarian and writer named Ben, played by Ibarra, rescuing a woman named Tracy, played by Morgan, and trying to understand her.
SEASCAPE:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “The back of the [script] describes it as an off-beat love story,” said O’Leary, “but we’ve taken that image and turned it on its side a little bit.” In order to do so, they have opted for a more surrealist representation of relationships through the natural order of the world. “We’re taking some of the ideas in the script and blowing them up to assume a bigger proportion,” O’Leary said. “Let’s just say that the world of the play is not what it originally seems to be.” One way that they are enhancing script elements is through the character of Ben, who Ibarra will be portraying as a kind of sociopath, even though he was not necessarily written to be this way. “He’s actually kind of a sociopath in the sense that he doesn’t really care for consequences, but in the text, the playwright wrote him in as a very sweet kind of guy,
a very patient man,” Ibarra said. “When we first went over the script, we didn’t see him as this bad person, and I’m not saying that he is a bad person now, but... he’s not necessarily a good person either. It’s interesting that we are taking it in a different direction.” Ibarra expressed that he’s had a lot of fun playing a sociopathic character, and that it’s been a challenge to not pass judgment on Ben because of this trait. “It’s a challenge because I’ve never had to be someone like this before,” he said. “It’s something we’ve been talking about in my classes. We talk about how these characters are real in that there is a possibility of these people existing and that we can’t judge the character because it could be a very real, valid person. It’s been a challenge not to judge my character.” As the show progresses, the story will delve deeper into the progression of the relationship between the two characters. “We are focusing on how a parasitic force, Tracy, interacts with a malevolent
force, Ben. We are exploring the cyclical nature of relationships and how we often repeat the same situation and expect a different outcome” O’Leary said. In the process of developing this show, the cast and the director worked together to discern the meaning of the title. O’Leary said they have taken it to be symbolic for the different story elements, with the seascape being the environment in which the story takes place, the shark being the obstacle the characters must overcome, and the dance being the method as to which that obstacle is overcome. The environmental aspect of the show presented a chance for the crew to get creative with set and light design. O’Leary said they have been working to create an “otherworldly cavernous underwater space... an ambient world that affects how the characters interact with the space.” As a student director, O’Leary expressed that the process has been a learning experience for her, especially in regards to the process of “killing your darlings,” a
saying that means getting rid of something about a piece to which one is very attached for the benefit of the whole work. For example, O’Leary remembers having a specific preconception of the relationship between the characters that went out the window as soon as she started working with the actors. “I thought I had the relationship between Tracy and Ben boxed into a very small corner,” she said, “but when my actors came in for the first reading, they really challenged me to unpack that container and see the relationship in a totally different way than I was viewing it.” Along the same vein, O’Leary hopes that audience members will be able to walk away from the show with a reconsideration of typical relationship dynamics. “Often, I think in literature or drama or movies, we don’t see how sometimes there is no bad guy, and crazy attracts crazy, and the mess is much more complicated than we give it credit for,” O’Leary said. “Nobody is the demon; both take part in the dysfunction.”
