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.

Motion pictures were first produced over a hundred years ago and, although archaic by todays standard of film, instantly gripped the nation with the innovative ability to capture and replay a moving image. And although movies are continuing to enthrall the spectator in the modern age, the same principles of film still apply.

His hands are rough, half cut, half healed - all abrasive.

While the United States was entangled in the throws of a Great Depression, Pompillio's was a newly established and thriving Italian restaurant catering to the heart of Newport.
