DIRECTOR’S NOTE Joyful Music and Mayhem Our first show of the 49th Season, Back in the Spotlight, is here and we couldn’t have picked a better celebration of joyful talent shinning on the stage every night.

Everyone is a suspect in this hilarious murder mystery with a twist. But what is the twist? Well for one thing, one actor plays the investigator, and the other plays all 13 suspects. And even more impressively both play the piano. That’s right. These two multi-talented actors act, dance, sing, transform on a dime, and play every song in the show.

So what was it like to rehearse a show this complicated with so many moving parts and only two actors to juggle it all? Well, I will tell you. It was an absolute joy.

The show requires split second shifts between characters and one of my favorite moments is when The Suspects played by Brady Wease becomes Timmy and Yonkers and Skid, the three surviving members of a twelve-member boys choir. As we rehearsed the song with Brady, he had to switch instantaneously between each character while playing the piano. Working on the scene was all about clean precise moments and choices and once we figured it all out, repetition, repetition, repetition.

So be sure to look for that boys choir and just imagine what those early rehearsals were like as we tried to decide which boy did what, where, and how.

If you all have half as much fun as we all had creating this production, we know you will be tapping your toes, holding your sides with laughter, and on your feet to applaud these amazing performers.

So hold onto your funny bone. And enjoy the ride.

Stephanie

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE Hello Everyone! We are back and are thrilled to be stepping back into LIVE performance with you.

Theater is such a communal experience, and while our team continued our storytelling craft through the medium of film, we have missed the give and take of collaborating together in the same space. And even more importantly, we have felt the emptiness of this building without you, our community, participating in this ancient ritual of connection and transformation with us.

Our communal gatherings will feel different now after everything we have all gone through over the past year, but that in and of itself is exciting. The way you get your tickets will be different, the way we seat you will be different, even the way we rehearse isn’t exactly the same. But that is ok. Because as of today, we get to be together again. And we will all find the way to our brand new normal together.

So welcome home everyone. And enjoy the show!
