This week, HRG&SP had a very exciting occurrence- we were sent a poster from HGSP’s (our name before the Radcliffe part was added in) inaugural production, Ruddigore from the spring semester of 1956! Julia McVaugh, a member of cast, had found the poster and offered to send it to us, and we were delighted to welcome the beautiful poster, which was designed by the leading tenor of the cast, back home. Thank you so much to the McVaughs for helping us preserve our history and records!
We have scanned the poster and added it to our digital archive, and Ross, our historian, is putting it in our physical archive.
Other than that, our cast, crew, and orchestra are off and running on rehearsals for Gondoliers, which is shaping up to be a great show! It has been exciting to get a sneak peek at the initial concepts from the other designers and hear the first run-throughs of songs by cast and orchestra, and I have been enjoying getting to know the talented people who are working with HRG&SP this semester.
