Help from our friends
I’ve been writing almost exclusively about the experience of a producer on The Wasteland, which gives me a particular myopia when it comes to what’s “new” and “interesting” in the project. Today our director forwarded me a document so befuddling that I need to share it:
What ramblings are these? To whom do these arcane instructions belong?
Why, they’re our choreographer’s, of course—I forgot we had a choreographer. The lovely Katie Proulx has choreographed a dance for a filmed bit called “The Sundress.“ I’ve been completely uninvolved in the development/rehearsal/planning of this particular bit, so it’s always delightful to see the hard work of others manifesting in such a real, immediate way.
While on the subject of hard workers, I need to give big acks1 to Joy Adams, our costume designer, who is currently slaving over some of our more fantastical costumes. We’ve also got a slew of musicians working on our musical numbers, an awesome Stage/Production Manager hammering out logistics and recruiting several ASMs, we’ve got people at ImprovBoston working to publicize our show, and the list goes on and on. Their names and titles are better organized here!
Our community is great. I can’t wait to see all this “bounce around.“
