NOTES

DIRECTOR’S NOTE While exploring the halls of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo discovered a Greek word, Ananke, meaning “fate” or “fatality,” carved into one of its tower walls.

The word inscribed in the stone of the ancient cathedral haunted Hugo and compelled him to consider the type of man or creature who would have been driven to etch it there, in such a secluded location within the vast internal structure of the church. Hugo’s curiosity about the word and its artist is said to have inspired the conception of the characters that shape his timeless novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a story that would be revised and reimagined time and again since its creation in 1831.

Within our story, the invisible hand of fate plays a provocative role in governing the lives of the characters and dares to evoke the idea that fate and eventual fatality is all but inescapable. The influence of fate reveals its ability to manifest itself in different forms of a higher power. This power at times deals a religious hand, while at others it exhibits one much more human, most notably in one man’s forceful dictation of the fate of an entire race and its people. With this, Hugo’s story brings both religion and political disarray to the forefront of a story that is nearly two centuries old, and we find the themes within still very much alive and abhorrent in our society today.

Our production strives to put on stage the realities that Hugo reflected in his original novel, an unusually weighty task for a musical that began as an animated film. Although set in Paris in the late 15th century, Hugo’s tale has left us with a portrait of a world that, as it turns out, continues to be not far different from the one we inhabit today. With the issues of religious power, sexual misconduct, race relations and immigration still so prevalent in our current socio-political climate, the themes of Hugo’s masterpiece withstand the test of time and beg the question: is there time enough to join hands to forge our own fates?

— Aria Braswell (Class of 2019), assistant director

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Professor Dan Ralescu for Romanian translations, Ben Pimental as the vocal warm-up leader.

THE VILLAGE NEWS ALUMNI APPLAUSE Kevin McCollum (BFA Musical Theatre, 1984) is a renowned Broadway producer with three Tony Awards for Best Musical for his work on In the Heights, Avenue Q and Rent. McCollum also worked as a producer for the film version of Rent. After graduating from CCM, he continued his education at the University of Southern California, where he studied film producing. His current touring production, The Play that Goes Wrong, will be presented at the Palace Theatre in Columbus this April, and he is also working to produce the forthcoming The Devil Wears Prada musical.

Noah J. Ricketts (BFA Musical Theatre, 2014) has moved up from his position in the ensemble of Frozen on Broadway to the leading role of Kristoph. The show will begin a national tour this fall that includes performances in Cleveland in summer 2020. Prior to Frozen, Ricketts performed in the Broadway and touring productions of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

Paul Schwensen (BFA Musical Theatre, 2017) found himself an agent at the CCM Musical Theatre Senior Showcase in New York City in 2017, which quickly led to an audition for the Miss Saigon national tour and to a role in that show as an ensemble member. He recently returned to his hometown of Cleveland for a run of performances, and the touring company will present Miss Saigon at Cincinnati’s Aronoff Center in April. Also in that same production as an ensemble member is alumna Julie Eicher (BFA Ballet Performance, 2012).

Melody Stewart (BM Music Theory, 1984) is the first African-American woman elected to the Ohio Supreme Court after winning about 52 percent of the vote in last November’s mid-term elections. She previously served on the Eighth District Court of Appeals in Cleveland. After her time at CCM, she received a law degree from Cleveland State University’s Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and a PhD from the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. Stewart is a member of the Ohio Criminal Justice Recodification Committee.
