About this production

This was Sinfonicron Light Opera Company's 60th performance! This was my second production with Sinfonicron as a Stage Manager.

Sinfonicron is a student-run theatre company at William & Mary that produces one operetta or musical every year over Winter Break. We spend two weeks in January rehearsing on a 9-to-5 schedule before we move into Tech Week and open during the first weekend of classes in the spring semester.

Due to the calendar this year and some snow days, we had a very condensed rehearsal schedule. During our snow days, we were able to meet in small groups in our own homes to work on simple blocking scenes, vocals, and character work. When we were able to meet in the theater spaces, we had four rehearsal rooms working at once: blocking, choreography, vocals, and pit orchestra.
