Dress Rehearsal and Production Shots:
The White Horse,
on a dark San Francisco night (what other kinds of night are there?)
at St. Gregory of Nyssa
with Harriet doing the curtain speech (even though, as with most places in which we've performed, there's no curtain -- but what dancing-saints mural in this case? ),
Suzanna doing Mice Suite No. 2 (first time in full [albeit faux] orchestration) and the syncretist White Horse Suite (nothing more than three excerpts respectively from Henry Miller in Brooklyn; Camino Real; and Cats, Dogs, and Divas),
and Harriet, Sarah, and Kat in the premiere of Flying Out the Mouth.
Also on the program, Cynthia Weyuker's voice-and-musical saw magic,
and Marilyn Pratt's high-flying Mozart.
