Catch the Fever!

Here is a little write-up of Saturday Night Fever, which we open on Wednesday at Cortland Repertory Theatre in Central New York.

I'm very excited for this one--the cast and artistic team have been great, and I had my first band rehearsal yesterday with a really fantastic group of musicians. This show is going to sound hot!

The second keyboard player and I get to sit on a platform on the left side of the pit, so I can see out over the stage right DJ booth (we're in a disco for half the show, after all). Here's a shot of the rest of the band, crammed into a tiny space but making it work with the help of our brilliant sound designer, Seth Asa Sengel.

Clockwise from top left: Simon Bjarning on drumset, Kieffer Fuller on bass, Julia Dombroski on trombone, Kelsey Beyer on reeds (flute, clarinet, alto, and tenor), Mike Salamone on trumpet, and Dennis Goettel on guitars. Not pictured: Canaan Harris on key 2.
