“Hello
everyone,
Last
evening I had the great pleasure of attending a performance of Ain't
Misbehavin at the Spotlighters Theatre at 817 St. Paul Street
in Baltimore. I attended the production because Theatre Coordinator
Shirley Basfield Dunlap was the director and Morgan Music majors
Annie Bragg, Dana McCants, and Tylar Montgomery were cast members.
Additionally, the musical director was Stephen Felton, also a Music
major. The musical featured the music of "Fats" Waller. The
theatre was very intimate and in the round. I enjoyed every aspect
of the performance. Shirley's direction was exquisite, despite the
limitations of the space and despite the fact that there are certain
challenges directing a show in the round, but everyone, despite the
vantage point, got a unique and fine vantage of every scene. The 3
female cast members are all members of the Morgan State University
choir, and generally speaking are all relatively quiet in day-to-day
lives, however, on the big stage, they all were transcended to huge
stage stars who all sang, danced, and acted very well. This is a
musical in every since of the word, with songs from start to finish.
Stephen Felton, did a fine job keeping the show musically tight and
under control. In short, if you get the chance to see this
production, please go and see it, you will thank me for the
recommendation. See cover of program attached, link to a review and
website of theatre. There are only two weekends left in the run -
Saturday, and Sunday evenings at 8PM and Sundays at 2PM. Again
congratulations to the cast and crew of Ain't Misbehavin'.
