"Maybe I wasn’t clear. I think Sister Act, and titles like it are exactly what summer stock is doing. It’s not that students are at an advantage by doing mediocre shows. They’re at an advantage doing these mediocre shows that are currently trendy."
Those are more or less along the same lines I was thinking. Another way to look at it is that students can learn different things from doing different types of shows. Of course I agree they should also do scores/shows that are generally regarded as better in quality and more challenging, but I do think there is some value in doing a show like SISTER ACT. For what it's worth, this same program at NYU recently did AMOUR. I think it's wise for the faculty to choose a mix of different styles of shows/scores, as with these two examples. |
