RE/collect

Fourth year Kit Novotny is a double major in Anthropology and Theater. For her Anthropology BA she interviewed collectors. The collections range from music to African-American dolls to airline sick bags. She also wrote a play about collectors, using their own words. She compiled the text from the interviews, and then performed this play as a solo-show, playing each part herself.
