Passion 2003

Tahoe Arts produced Stephen Sondheim's Passion at Piper's Opera House in the Fall of 2003. Piper's is in Virginia City and is a wonderful and historic venue. Suzie Tagayev directed and played the part of Fosca. Saundra Chaon played Clara, and I did the vocal direction and played the part of Giorgio. Dave Hamilton and Kurt Munger from LTCC were also part of the cast. I think doing the show at Piper's had something to do with that. This is one of the few shows where I don't seem to have a program. Lev had also gotten one of those souvenir "fake news" papers.

Joy Michiel gave us a nice writeup in the Tahoe This Week.

I do have lots of photos from this production.
