A Word Sung on BYU's Vaudeville Would Smell As Sweet ...

by Pollyanna Eyler, dramaturg

Can you match these “WORDS” about “WORDS” on top, with the famous musicals (as shown at BYU) on bottom?

1._________________________
I'd like to say a word in her behalf,
Maria makes me laugh.

 
3. _________________________

   Words, Words, Words, I’m so Sick of Words,
I get words all day through, first from him, now from you
Is that all you blaggards can do?
Never do I ever want to hear another word, there isn’t one,
I haven’t heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I’ll scream!

Nurturing Seeds and Ourselves

Ever since the beginning of the rehearsal process, director Kris Peterson really wanted the cast to get their hands in the dirt. Like the events of the musical, the earth has a power to connect us to each other, and she recognized that. One way that Charlotte and I thought to do this was to provide a small number of seeds to each cast member and invite them to grow their own plants over the summer. This was also a way to encourage the cast members to stay mentally connected to the show even when they were physically distant from the rehearsal space.

Our Own Secret Garden

October 25, 2023 10:03 AM
The power of healing and growth is a topic not unknown to students at BYU. Educators and learners alike were asked to stretch their capacity to hold both powers in one hand as they were transplanted from their on-campus home in the Harris Fine Arts Center, to the new West Campus building, formerly known as the old Provo High School. The college of fine arts and communication, which includes Theatre, Media, film, Art, and Design departments, had to establish new communities, while major construction projects prevented them from being as close to the rest of campus as they might like to be.
