Kelsey Nichols digs into the world of “Mr. Burns”

to create unconventional costumes for the play Story and photos by Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu | @bridget_murray

In a typical production, Kelsey Nichols said the fabric bin in the costume studio of the theater building is filled with just that — fabric. For IU Theatre’s production of “‘Mr. Burns’, a post-electric play,” however, the bin is filled with computer chips, wires, pop tabs and a plethora of plastic bags. Because of the show’s post-apocalyptic nature, Nichols said her role as the costume designer is to interpret what materials the characters might actually have on hand in a futuristic wasteland without electricity. “My initial thought was people are leaving their homes, they’re only going to be taking what they can carry with them and things are going to stop,” she said. “It’s going to start to get harder and harder to get materials.” “Mr. Burns” is set in a futuristic America, where a group of survivors’ recount of a popular “Simpson’s” episode progresses into a budding civilization. The third-year costume design MFA said she came up with the concept for “Mr. Burns” costumes in February. From there, she began her sketches and renderings. The costumes are primarily made of “up-cycled” and unconventional materials such as tutus made from layers of plastic shopping bags. Nichols said she focused on using plastics because they melt, making it

She said it is crucial to dig into the world of the play in order to start designing its costumes. “When you’re designing a show, that’s the first thing you have to think about is the world that the characters SEE DESIGN, PAGE 5

The Night Owl, a free service to students, expanded two weeks ago to include a new Indiana Memorial Union Special Route and an additional A Route, both running Friday nights. Early Sunday morning the service circles through the northwest neighborhood, the bus radio blares Demi Lovato. Groups of girls, mostly freshmen, in tight dresses and high heels pile in at the Memorial Stadium stop. “Why did we leave the party with all the boys in suits?” one girl said. “I paid $90 for an Uber,” another said. The bus rolls down Fee Lane toward Herman B Wells Library, and the girls, slightly intoxicated, stumble off the bus, heading back to their dorms. “Why are we going back?” one girl asks. “It’s so early.” These are the students Jackie Daniels, director of OASIS, said she hopes are reached through the Night Owl campus bus service. “We wanted to use this method of transportation because it’s safe and students are doing the right thing, and they’re not walking,” Daniels said. With the addition of the new IMU Special Route and A Route, funded through a grant from the Parents Fund, the Night Owl service now has four buses running Friday

The League of Women Voters’ mayoral candidate forum between John Hamilton and John Turnbull focused on Bloomington’s expansion and need for job growth, affordable housing and public safety Monday night. Bloomingon residents in the City Hall’s Showers Building passed questions on note cards to Cathy Meyers of the LWV, Kirk White, IU’s assistant vice president for Strategic Partnerships and Charlotte Zietlow of the Bloomington City Council. The panel compiled the note cards into broad questions for the candidates to answer concisely. Hamilton, the democratic candidate, focused on bringing “21stcentury” jobs and affordable housing into the city while protecting economic diversity in its residents. “What I hope people will say is that we were able to protect the diversity of Bloomington ... with the challenges we have ahead,” he said. “That no one has been pushed out.” Turnbull argued his Republican stance would not clash with the city council, leaving him free to focus on Bloomington’s “period of rapid growth” with the construction of I-69 and Bloomington’s physical
