THEORY was our choice for the Musical Theatre class production last year as an option that would highlight the strengths of the various class members. We had students who were stronger actors than singers we could feature with the monologues and some really powerful vocalists who were able to shine with the songs. As others have said, it affords a lot of opportunities. We did it with 24 so it is possible to have more than 13. Greg Pschirrer directed and we had a phenomenal student teacher who musically directed and accompanied the show. I can honestly say it was one of our most well received shows because all ages could connect to elements of the individual stories.
Production photos (pc: Scott Martinez) from our
website can give you an idea of Greg's innovative and functional set design and how simple costumes/props can be. Highly recommend if you've got some kids with chops and are looking to build ensemble skills.

Hi all.
Anyone done "The Theory of Relativity"? I'd love to hear about your experience and thoughts. We are considering it for our musical spot next year.
Thanks,
