2. Side by Side by Sondheim

Thirteen singers and two keyboardists collaborate in this anthology of Stephen Sondheim's greatest hits from the first half of Sondheim's fruitful Broadway career, roughly 1957-1976. Sondheim's name permeates musical theatre in the second half of the 20th century. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," "Company," "Follies," "A Little Night Music," and, of course, lyrics for "West Side Story" and "Gypsy" illustrate what has become a lifetime of musical creativity. Sondheim is the recipient of eight Tony Awards, plus the Tony Lifetime Achievement Award, one Academy Award, eight Grammy Awards, one Pulitzer Prize, seven Drama Desk Awards, one Obie Award and six Laurence Olivier Awards. Mention "Send in the Clowns" and even those unfamiliar with musical theatre canon recognize one of Sondheim's signature creations.

Directed by Catawba Musical Theatre Professor Missy Barnes, the artistic team includes a mix of Catawba students and faculty, along with 2007 Catawba alumnus Giuseppe Ritorto of Greensboro as Musical Director. Members of the crew include junior Jodye Carroll of Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Choreographer; senior Vaughn Pollman of Overland Park, Kansas, Set Designer; senior Claire Robinson of Houston, Texas, Costume Designer; and Theatre Professor Christopher D. Zink , Lighting Designer. Stage Management support is provided by senior Mackenzie Westbrook of Charlotte, senior Brad Boaz of Gastonia, and sophomore Ashton Tibbitt of Sanford.
