One of the campers at the end of the day asked, "What does the ensemble do?" Before I had the opportunity to truly take in the question and articulate a response, the rest of the campers - even those cast as principle characters - cried out, "EVERYTHING!" Yes, the ensemble is the lifeblood of this show. Much like there would be no Seussical without Horton, Gertrude, Schmitz, et al, there would be no show without The Whos, The Cadets, The Jungle Citizens, The Fish, and so on. If there is one teeny nugget of wisdom I want every camper to walk away with, it is that they are as vital to our endeavor as each and every other person a part of this team. I am blown away by how well these kids take care of one another. Putting together any work of art involving more than one person is about so much more than the technique, talent & mechanics - it's about finding how to complement, learn from and polish each other in a way that only the creative process can. Who are we? We are one, and we are thankful for the weekend. See you all on Monday.
