John Miller, technical director of Yulman Theater, designed the
lighting and worked with students from the Schenectady City School District's School
of Fine Arts on their production of “Twelfth Night, Or What You Will” by William
Shakespeare at Proctor's Theater recently. The program, in conjunction with The Blue
Roses Theatre Company and Proctor's, focused on involving Schenectady students with
professionals in the field. It was made possible by a grant from the Henry M. Butzel
Family Foundation. “Theatre is a great educational experience,” Miller said.
“The process teaches us what we can accomplish through cooperation, collaboration and
leadership, and it teaches us respect and trust in ourselves and for others as we work
together.”
