Kerro Knox 3 feels like he is David Gram's personal lighting designer: Hands on a Hardbody, School for Scandal, that pesky Scottish play that started the pandemic are among their collaborations. Kerro is professor emeritus of theatre at OU and still teaches Theatre History 1 (Greeks et al) and lighting.
Chris Brannon (Stage Manager)
Chris Brannon is an upcoming senior at Oakland University, majoring in Acting with a minor in Communication.
