From the outset, we know that she is perpetually doomed. No matter which way you spin it, the colossal ship that underwent its maiden voyage in 1912 is going to sink in the second act. Therein lies the challenge for Northern Kentucky University's theatrical performance of the events surrounding the ill-fated Titanic.

Cook transitions to new stage

Jeremy Jackson and Jeremy Jackson December 2, 2009

His past four years at Northern Kentucky University have been the complete antithesis of where he set out to be as a child. The precocious student from the rural backwaters of Eastern Kentucky surmised that his life, since he could remember, was destined for the career and regiment of a neuroscientist. Fascinated with the inner-workings of the brain, the path seemed to fit. But a change in priorities, his father, along with a healthy dose of serendipity disrupted that fate forever.
