Episode 4: The clothes make the RAM

This week, RAM begins its "Behind the Limelight" series, which is dedicated to seeking out those people involved in the arts whose names aren’t necessarily printed first in the program, but whose contributions are essential to the success of a play, dance performance, or album. Our first "Behind the Limelight" interview is with Jule Emerson -- esteemed costume designer, professor, and Middlebury Artist in Residence.

The following pictures sample Emerson's work in recent Middlebury productions:

Jumpers, Spring 2008

This week's show also featured Middlebury musician Philippe Bronchtein, alias Bearplane. R!A!M! played Bearplane's immensely danceable electronic tune, "Ultimate Gluttony." Hear more from Bronchtein and download his debut album, Portrait of the Artist as a Dead Man, at his Myspace page.
