“Directed by Catherine Ferrante, BC ’21, and produced by Juliet Emerson-Colvin, BC ’21, this two-hour charismatic production flew by like a dream…Hilligoss’s stomping heels and Vlietstra’s cape were symbolic of the entire production—loud and psychedelic. It was exactly these qualities, the noisiness and business of the actors, the mesmerizing set transformations, and the entrancing ambiance, that made the performance a refreshing vacation from reality.”
