What is a Swing?
A swing is an actor who is able to cover multiple roles. We normally use swings in our large musicals, but it was very important this year as we navigated COVID that we had additional swings who were able to cover any and all parts of the show in rehearsal.
I am ALWAYS grateful to my actors for how generous they are to step up, but I am ESPECIALLY grateful this year for our swings. We used them in almost every rehearsal for health and safety reasosn, and without them this would have been a much more difficult process. A swing is a tough job that requires a lot of focus, planning and organization- and they stepped up beautifully.
Here's to our swings- on with the show!
