Music in the Air

by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II
 
Music by the Lake at George Williams College of Aurora University
July 2012
 
Directed by Greg Ganakis, costume design by Tracey Lyons, scenic design by Eric Appleton, lighting by Pro-line Entertainment, all scenic painting by Eric Appleton
 
No propmaster, no stage manager, Kaylee Oost as entire backstage crew, lighting roughed in by Pro-line Entertainment
 
I must note that the director, design team, and production staff were again and again placed in difficult situations by the producer of this production.   After this experience, I cannot recommend seeking employment with this venue.
