The following conversation took place on February 15, 2011 at CitySpace and addressed the question, “What is the value of the arts?” The result is an open-ended discussion about the different ways the arts have value in our community, from participation in arts events to the notion of “art as luxury,” as well as specific arts and economic development initiatives in the Charlottesville area.
On a recent Wednesday evening, the cast and crew of Live Arts’ production of The Drowsy Chaperone prepared for the relaunch of their musical comedy. The show debuted in mid-December to glowing reviews, but took a a break for the holidays. I stopped by the brush-up rehearsal to find out more. In this podcast, we hear from actors Doug Schneider, Kimberly Hoffacker, Jane Scatena as well as director Ray Nedzel and musical director John Carden.
Drowsy Chaperone reopens this Saturday and runs through January 16 in Live Arts Downstage Theater. Ticket information is available on Live Arts’ website. If you’re going, make sure to download the helpful study guide.
