Ladies and gentlemen of the theatro-blogosphere, please give it up for Mr. Bill Foster!
He is the co-founder of ETC and co-creator of the Source Four and a number of other revolutionary lights and light boards.
And he has just been elected as Democrat (from a longtime Republican district) to the House of Representatives from the state of Illinois, in a special election to replace former House Speaker Dennis Hastert for the rest of his term - this coming January. He will go up against Hastert again in November for the following term.
He is a scientist - and we could use more of them in office - who has been working for years at Fermilab on particle physics.
Congrats, Mr. Foster!
