I attended the opening of Urinetown last night. WOW! Urinetown has to be one of the strongest musical theatre productions in the history of the UNI Department of Theatre!
Something hot is cooking in the Strayer-Wood Theatre! On Thursday (technical rehearsal) the warm soup was transferred to a cold kettle. Now, over the course of the next week, the production ensemble will be firing up to a full boil!
Although I derive great satisfaction from designing for the department’s main stage season, I also love to experience the process from the safe and relatively objective perspective of a spectator.
Last fall I was fortunate to receive a PDA to work on a new musical. PDA stands for Professional Development Assignment and is a competitive granting of support for a faculty member to pursue her or his own creative or research project.
