NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR It was many years ago that a kid sat watching PBS’ Great Performances, where this crazy lady sang and danced while her friend murdered those who had wronged him. The rest of the cast sang amazingly and hauntingly as the set whirled around in a stunning display of Broadway magic. It was then I knew I loved this thing called musical theatre. I knew, too, that one day, I would do this incredible show that had inspired me. It was all a matter of time.

Little did I realize when I casually mentioned that one day I’d love to direct a show for my alma mater, that the responses would be, “What show?” Even more stunnning was the answer, “Ok, let’s do it.” Given the events of the past month, to say this has been an incredible journey is an understatement.

My sincerest desire was to surround myself with a team of designers, musicians and performers that shared my passion for this show. Prior to the devastating tornado, I knew I had. After it, I knew this family was so much more.

What you will witness tonight is passion on and off the stage, from the sewing tables to the rehearsal rooms and from the blueprints to the final dress.

This incredible team of professionals has come together to deliver a show unlike any other, all while battling the direst of circumstances.

It is a story of passion told by passionate people who adore Sweeney Todd, cherish Stephen Sondheim and love musical theatre.

We cannot thank you enough for your support of our creative endeavors.

The School of Music will be back and stronger than ever, thanks to you and the incredible musicans who call it home.

One of the great casualties of the tornado was the incredible set, designed by Stephen Judd. The cast and crew had nearly finished assembling it when the sirens sounded. The original design encompassed the entire stage of the Mannoni Performing Arts Center both horizontally and vertically.

Gigantic archways thrust up into the gallery above the stage while state-of-the-art technology was being planned to project London’s streets across the back of the the stage and on multiple surfaces in front of the set.

The design incorporated many translucent sections that allowed the cast to appear and disappear throughout the performance to create a truly haunting visual. Our gratitude to Stepehn and all of the construction team for a valiant effort that lives on in the mind of the cast who saw it complete for just a few moments.
