Wiese stressed that masks, social distancing, and other security protocols forced performers and theater artists to become more creative: actors learned to use their eyes and upper faces more, artists worked to incorporate masks into costumes, and provided lavalier microphones in masks a high quality sound.
“The audience also had to use their imagination, so we all learned a lot,” said Wiese.
However, she said they are thrilled to move forward with the masking mandate as they rehearse for “Let Freedom Sing” and the upcoming performances of “A Chorus Line,” which open on Friday, July 23 and through Sunday, the 1st of August.
Production Director Matthew Holter thinks it’s appropriate that Let Freedom Sing has a “Route 66” theme as the country reopens.
“Basically, we want to take the audience on a short road trip along Route 66 and convey a feeling for this freedom of the road. Let Freedom Sing has been the show’s title for years, of course, and sometimes freedom can include the freedom you feel on a road trip, ”said Holter, who admitted that he loves to drive cross-country.
He worked to consider the historical significance of the Route, established in 1926 as the “Main Street of America”, which originated in Chicago and continued through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona before reaching Santa Monica, California ended.
