Creation rehearsals for Queens began April 5 — this is our 12th year making new shows from scratch — you think you’re prepared for anything in the first couple of weeks … you’re always wrong. We’ve now got nine people in the room dreaming, making, moving. It goes by in a flash. There are nights when it all clicks and you look at one another and nod, knowing you’ve just birthed something juicy, something that everyone can sink their creative teeth into. Then there are nights where everything feels wrong and you wonder if you’re too old to take the Bloomingdale’s Executive Training Program.
For a peek into how we create, give this a click. It’s a good place to start.
Anyhoo, we’re underway. We’re making new things, and we know you are going to be moved by them.
