"We open in a week, people! The set isn’t finished. Mother Abbess just quit because she has shingles. And, every step-ball-change would make Bob Fosse rise from the grave just so he could have a heart attack again!"
The Pacifier (2005)
And with that, let me welcome you all to CHICAGO at Bigfork Playhouse. This blog will be updated somewhat regularly with pictures, links, lists, musings, reviews, questions, answers all having to do - in some way - with our production.
Because I'm also a Professor of Theatre, I have this overwhelming need to share the research that I'm doing, and an updatable blog seems like a good repository for all of the bits of information that I've found helpful. Our fantastic choreographer Taavon Gamble has already loaded me up with some excellent material which I'll try to distill over the course of the next several weeks along with things I've collected or am in the process of collecting. Use what you'd like, ignore what doesn't help, and feel free to send anything that the rest of us may find useful, interesting, or at least amusing.
I'm aware that CHICAGO is only one part of your summer, and each of you has your own process, but I've always found the research to be an important element for all of the creative team. It's in the spirit of helping - not assigning you homework - that I offer this blog.
