S P S V V A P A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E D I R E C T O R WILLIAM KRAFT T O T H E C O M M U N I T Y O F S P S V Dear Bruin Friends and Family, That’s the way we do things in… Chicago! The single line from our performance has informed everything we do in rehearsal. Because truly we’ve never done any production quite like this. The material is new, the dances are highly challenging, and the perpetrator gets away with it! Last academic year, our faculty attended Ministry Days at St. Francis High School in Sacramento. We were encouraged to see posters for “Chicago: High School Edition“! Is this all-girls high school actually producing Chicago!? The revelation was truly an epiphany because we have wanted to do that show for quite some time. I was always hesitant about it since the main character, Roxie Hart, gets away with murder. As we worked through early rehearsals, Roxie’s defeat became clearly a personal defeat because she does not win the fame she truly craves, thus the morality of the play (not Roxie’s actions) is redeemed. So “Chicago” is less of a prosecution of an individual as it is an indictment of our legal system, if not our entire society. Once again, like last year, we have a great crew of singers, dancers, designers, and especially choreographers. Francesca Fogli has truly outdone herself. She is fortunate to have a crew of talented and dedicated performers at her beck and call. Our leads are truly great performers. Each has had studies to maintain, lines and lyrics to memorize, and dances to work through. It is most remarkable that we’ve only been working on this since January 7, just about eight weeks ago. Truly an amazing accomplishment. And our ensemble is second to none. You will truly enjoy tonight’s performance. Enjoy the show, Bill Kraft Department Chair, Visual and Performing Arts St. Patrick-St. Vincent Catholic High School The performance will last approximately two hours, with one intermission. Refreshments will be sold during intermission. For restroom facilities, please use the men and women facilities in the gymnasium lobby.
