The still photographs and videos you see on these linked pages are the product of the dedicated group below.  In the Spring of 2000, Metro students in Theatre instructor Andrea Lang's beginning acting course volunteered to portray public speaking scenarios.  The scripts were written, and we were ready for "Lights! Camera! Action!"  But we needed the lights and camera.  Enter Bob Maas, Commercial Photography-Video instructor, and his CPV class.  Bob and his students shot Andrea's acting students, and the results are contained within these pages.  Enjoy this unique and educational showcase of Metro student talent.
