In 1993, Southeastern Louisiana University held what was to be the last Summer Music Theatre Camp. The program was later revamped in 2001 as the Opera/Music Theatre Workshop.
The show was Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, originally written as a Live TeleCast Musical in 1957, but subsequently adapted for the stage.
Summer G played Cinderella, Matt R was her Prince Charming. Christina L was the Fairy Godmother, Frances N was the Stepmother, Rebecca B was Joy, the cranky Stepsister, and I was Portia, the sweet but flaky Stepsister. (With a dress like a Crazed English Garden party run amok, my hair in cocker-spaniel-style Ponytail bunches, and a really big bonnet like a Chocolate cake with Mint colored icing/piping.)
SO MUCH FUN! So much drama on and offstage; but I learned important music and theatre techniques from Scharmal Schrock, Gary Bird, Willis Delony, Martie Fellom, Tom Jones, and Larry Gray.
