Description
This episode of Sondheim @ 90 Roundtable has Victoria Bussert (director of music theatre at Baldwin-Wallace University, director of "The Frogs" at Pegasus Players), Christopher Pazdernik (Porchlight Music Theatre's casting & company manager, director of numerous Porchlight Revisits) and Christie Chiles Twillie (music director for Porchlight Revisits "Minnie's Boys" and a music director, piano conductor, sound designer and composer) discussing the musical send up of Greek comedy and satire "The Frogs." Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and "freely adapted" by Burt Shevelove, with host Michael Weber.
Loosely based on a comedy written in 405 B.C. by Aristophanes, "The Frogs" playfully explores the great challenges of human existence: confronting fears, understanding life and death and challenging the distractions that can prevent us from achieving our goals.
