Tickets for the KIDSTAGE summer production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street are on sale now! This Tony-award winning psychological thriller is set to a dark and intricate score by the legendary Stephen Sondheim. Todd sets up a barbershop above Mrs. Lovett’s failing pie business, and a recipe for disaster looms for London’s unsuspecting victims. Obsession, revenge, and deadly consequences come together as characters examine the line between good and evil.
In Issaquah at Village Theatre's First Stage Theatre, July 15 – 24.
All of the characters in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown are kids, and yet the adult actors embody youth so well. How does your choreography lend itself to youthfulness?
"Before any movement began, I gathered our Charlie Brown cast in a circle and led them in a prompted round robin exercise. The theme was childhood. Each person was to say the first word that came to mind, without thinking about it. The word eventually expanded to a sentence, the sentences expanded to forgotten stories about our youth. It was incredible to see how each artist really sank into this exercise to tap into that childlike state. I believe that in order to truly embody a character, you must allow your mind to unselfconsciously reach into its depths to unlock things you might’ve forgotten...I’m so glad that the choreography was an extension of that."
