SILVER LININGS –OR– WHY YOU ALL ARE SO DANG SPECIAL Molly Rhode, Associate Artistic Director Did you know that when we gather in the theater to have a shared experience as an audience, our heartbeats synchronize? It’s true. Isn’t that simply wonderful? It’s what I missed the most in the early part of last summer–not having the chance to laugh and cry with you, and to be in sync, in that awesome elevated state of community. But I was in for a surprise. In pausing to reflect on all Northern Sky has accomplished since cancelling our 30th anniversary season, I’m kinda gobsmacked at how much connection we created anew. We’ve been hustling, brainstorming, inventing (and reinventing) for 14 straight months; and we’ve rarely taken the time to come up for air. By my count, we’ve had 58 distinct special events to offer our fans this past year. Fifty-eight! I couldn’t believe it. But it’s true. 3 Cabarets (with Doug Clemons, Allie Babich, and Ray Jivoff) 2 Playlist Concerts (hosted by Mary Seeberg and Doug Mancheski) 6 Archive Concerts (Love Songs, Silly Songs, Lipstick Optional, Songs of Hope, Decade of Delight, and A December to Remember) 2 Author Events (Trunk Songs, and The New Year with Northern Sky– featuring 21 of our beloved authors!) 4 Winter Season Concerts (with Eric Lewis, Doc Heide, Claudia Russell & Bruce Kaplan, and Karen Mal & Will Taylor) 5 Reunion Events (Lumberjacks in Love, Guys on Ice, Bone Dance, And If Elected, and Heritage Ensemble!) 1 Full Production Archive shared for the first time ever (Malarkey!: 1993 in the Park)
