Hey everyone,
I wanted you all to know about a phenomenal thing that came out of a bad thing yesterday. Yesterday my friend Ben (playing the lead in New Brain) deemed himself too sick to perform, and his understudy was asked to step up. Andrew Karl (Ithaca College Musical Theatre freshman) is the understudy and he began working mid-afternoon to be prepared for last night. We got to sit in the audience and watch his performance, and I want everyone to realize just how phenomenal it was. Cat Stephani (playing Lisa the homeless woman) was also sick, and she performed the show, but asked to not be in the big dance number. Her understudy Deanalis Resto (Ithaca College Musical Theatre sophomore) stepped up for that number and was also phenomenal. I would just like to give my congratulations to the two understudies for their performances.
For me this is testament that this program is truly great. The understudies’ performance could easily have gone without noting they were an understudy, and no one would have cared. They were professional, poised, and dead on for all their lines and blocking. Congratulations to them!
