ABOUT THE SHOW Written by Stephen Sondheim, Anyone Can Whistle is an absurdist social satire about insanity and conformity (among a dozen other things!). This legendary cult show is a wacky, intelligent, highly unconventional musical which tells the story of a corrupt mayoress who fakes a miracle to revitalize her bankrupt town and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurse and the easy-going doctor who is determined to enjoy the chaos that it brings. Anyone Can Whistle delivers a poignant message about the importance of the individual in a conformist society - but not before aiming its still-relevant barbs at government, religion, science and anything else that stands in its way! Book by Arthur Laurents | Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim | Orchestration by Don Walker Directed by Kelcie Nicole Dugger, Choreographed by Josh Landis & Musically Directed by Scott Pyle CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Fay Apple The resilient, young nurse at The Cookie Jar. She falls in love with Hapgood. She is meticulous and practical, but provides a lot of fun throughout the show. Cora Hoover Hooper The rich and greedy Mayor who is hated by her people. Controlling and desperate. J. Bowden Hapgood The new doctor in town who falls for Fay. Hapgood is wild, whimsical, and charming. He is more than meets the eye. Comptroller Schub The town's Comptroller and Cora's right-hand man. He is hotheaded and mean. Treasurer Cooley A former Preacher and the town Treasurer who was tossed out to pasture. Schub's right hand man. Scuzzy, slimy. Chief Of Police Magruder Serves as the Chief of Police and rounds out the trio of Cora's lackeys. He aims to please and gets excited when he does, but he is mostly a day late and a dollar short. Mrs. Schroeder Baby Joan's tough mother. Dr. Detmold The fussy doctor of The Cookie Jar. A very busy man and a bit of a snob. Ensemble Cookies, Deputies, Townspeople, Pilgrims, and more!

Through improvisational prompts and exercises we will discover each others rhythms and intrinsic patterns while working on breaking our predictability. Contemporary by Bita Bell Class will explore relationships and space, focusing on releasing tension through bartenieff exercises and connecting with gravity. While developing momentum through space, class will investigate choreographic ideas and performance artistry.

Class will start with a short warm-up, followed by DTY dancers teaching company repertory. Afro Modern by Mojuba! Dance Collective Concepts in class will focus on the fusion of movement from the African Diaspora blended with modern and contemporary elements. Youth Master Classes Yoga by Elyse Morckel Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Classes will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. In short, it is a practice of moving meditation, which brings more clarity and peace. Yoga has been defined as ‘Awareness in Action’. We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now. Contemporary by DanceTheYard Class will begin with a guided improvisation and transition to a formal warm-up that refines and defines the movement language used throughout the remainder of the class. Class will culminate in a group combination that challenges bodies and leaves space for the dancers own creativity. Song & Dance: An experimental movement improvisation by Bone & Fiddle Dance Collective Inspiration for movement derives from a variety of artist modalities, through the art of dance, these inspirations can be abstracted and morphed into new choreographic compositions. This experimental movement improvisation is based on participants vocalizations, favorite song lyrics, and expressive poetry. Class structure will include a full body and vocal warm ups. Improvisations will be directed by Mrs. Logan based on participants lyric choices, and playing with classic choreographic structures. Popping by Samuel McIntosh The street style Popping, is an umbrella term for many styles such as Animation, Tutting, Waving, Dimestops, etc. In this class dancers will touch on the many styles and how basic Popping foundation is used within them all. -- *Elyse Morckel* The Movement Project Company Member 330.962.9547
