Production in the Making


The ballad to belt

The number to master

Cold reading the script

Process of cutting

Awaiting to hear from the producer

Receiving an the ensemble role

You’ve also been cast as the lead's understudy

Lengthy evenings of rehearsal

Shimmying into ancient costumes

Determining your hairdo  

The denounced hell week

Opening night jitters

Choral and dance warm-ups

Aiding others to get ready

Places... Showtime

The ever loved opening number

Act two

The final curtain call

Wacky after parties

Shedding a tear knowing you will never perform it again
