hi there.
the weekend before last was our 3rd trip to boston - this time to help put on NU's musical revue. i put a lot of energy into developing the musical revues during 2009, and i've continued to be involved. here are some videos from the show i directed last semester. this year, in addition to consulting for the show, i directed one of the songs (the "diva" number - it's raining men). it turned out to be my favorite of the 60+ numbers we've done so far.
the song was 5 minutes, 30 seconds - it needed a lot of visual & audio dynamic in order to keep it from getting boring. they started out in these ponchos...
then literally tore them off about half way through to reveal these dresses.
the "diva" number we do every semester is based off a concept created at severna park's "rock n roll revival" over the years. they don't really do it anymore, but the point of it was to put the best talent of the girls together & help them exude as much attitude and audience control as they can...the result is a really exciting live performance. i will post the video here as soon as it's available.
this is the esplanade in boston - dock on the charles river. i used to run around it in the fall, before my knee ruined normal mobility & the whole being a 19-year old with a healthy body thing.

this weekend, we went to see an off-off-broadway show on friday evening...it was very interesting. unsurprisingly, it appears that NYC has a great abundance of talent, but a major lack of resources when it comes to the arts. on saturday, gretchen came to visit (3rd time!), which was fun as always. it was good to be in NY for the weekend. on sunday, my parents & homer (animal) came to visit (1st time...). they brought me my spring clothes & took away the winter. they also stocked up my fridge & pantry :). we went to see sondheim on sondheim, a musical revue that featured stephen sondheim speaking about his life & works. although i am not the biggest fan of sondheim's music, and although listening to the same types of songs gets tiring, it was very well put together & featured some great singing. for dinner, we went to maz mezcal, a delicious & unique mexican restaurant just around the block from my apartment.
