interview for paper 3 (3/17/09)

Here are the questions I asked in an e-mail interview with Spectrum's VP and her answers...

Define Spectrum in your own words…
It is a GLBTQSA organization where people can come together to have fun, become educated and be safe.

Who chose the site for this show and how long has it been put on there…
I'm not sure about this one...it has been around for a few years.

What was your favorite part of the show…
I liked the story line the MCs did.

Were there any set-backs with the show and putting it together...
There are many aspects to the show and it takes a couple months to put together. But there were no set backs.

What story or stories are associated with the show/location…
There is no story associated with the show that i know of.

What rules surround the show and putting it together…
There are rules for the performers and you can find those online...
http://www.bsu.edu/web/spectrum/Drag%20Show%20Contract.html. But there are no rules for putting on the show.

What significance or meaning does the show hold to individuals in Spectrum or Spectrum as a whole…
The Drag Show is the biggest event that Spectrum puts on. It is our chance to raise money and give back to the community. The last show we gave the proceeds to the Indiana Youth Group. It means a lot to everyone in spectrum...the whole group really comes together to make it possible.

What part do you (or someone in your exec position) usually play in putting this show on...
The Vice President is in charge of the Drag Show...last semester that was Damon and this semester it's me. We take care of everything all the details, and then the exec boards back us up when need be. This semester i am trying something new by having a planning committee.
