Tue., March 12 at 12 noon • Killian Hall (14W-111)
Amanda Casale and Dynamic Range Flyleaf Theater
Amanda Casale, Jen Drummond, Jess Andra, Pat Lawrence, Dan Sullivan, Ken Orben, James Haupt, Denys Godwin, Ryan LaForest, and David Nicholson in a theatrical voice recital.
This recital celebrates the “Coming of Spring”, with our three large group numbers representing the change of the seasons: “Seasons of Love”, “I Feel So Much Spring”, and “Song of Purple Summer”. The songs begin dark, lost, and even in some cases cold, like the “Winter”. As the recital progresses, the emotions progress to much happier and satisfying themes – representing the hope and light that comes from Summer. The styles of song and show selections are vastly different, to also showcase many different musicals and their genres.
