9 to 5: Choreography aka we've got some mad moves!

Musical theatre.  You've got singing.  You've got acting.  And then there's the dancing.  No, not dancing.  CHOREOGRAPHY!  The definition is quite simple:  it is the sequence of steps and movements in dance, especially in a ballet or other staged dance.  It sounds easy enough, doesn't it?  Come to find out, it's a bit harder than you might think!  


 
During rehearsals for 9 to 5, the cast has been learning choreography for both the big group numbers and the smaller ensemble pieces.  With choreographer Cheryl Kaiser at the helm, we have been transformed into dancing experts...well, okay, some of us have.



From chasses and grapevines, to jazz squares and, my personal favorite, the pivot, we work our way across the stage to bring the songs to life.  For someone who has never taken a dance class before, it is quite the experience (and, I should mention, a great workout)!  

So, get your tickets today for 9 to 5 and enjoy our groovy moves!

9 to 5 Photo Shoot

On June sixth, the actors and actresses who have lead roles in the production of 9 to 5 had a photo shoot. These pictures will be used to advertise for the show. The photo shoot took place at Michelmann Steel. It provided the perfect place for the pictures with its 1970's atmosphere. The actors were very excited to be involved in the photo shoot, and enjoyed their time.

So keep an eye out for the poster--and get your tickets starting Monday!
