Have you ever seen a brilliantly performed show and wondered about all the work and rehearsals that went into that fabulous production? Well, today you get a sneak peak into the planning and the rehearsal process for VLOC's run of The Pirates of Penzance! Before the rehearsals get underway, the production staff carefully puts together a plan for the set and and fleshes out the choreography for the entire show. Below, choreographer Amanda Jones and director Felicity Ann Brown work on scene choreography. A model of the set is put together so that the set crew can get to work on construction and bring Penzance to life. Then it's time to rehearse! Music rehearsals begin first under the tutelage of music director Joseph Sorge, then the choreography team (Amanda Jones, Felicity Ann Brown, and Helen Aberger) come in to work with the cast on their movement and hone their dancing skills. Below, both the maidens and the pirates practice their moves. And some cast members have even perfected their fearsome pirate faces. Please give a virtual round of applause to the cast and crew for all the hard work they've been doing! The show opens in exactly one week. If you don't have your tickets yet, get them here!
