Archive of the Month: GREAT PERFORMANCES

Great Performances? 

Well, it sports fabulous costumes, is performed to classical music, skews plenty of ballet steps, and is shot by a Japanese national television station - with a little Shakespeare thrown in! 

If it all sounds too elite for you, not to worry: it's just 
Cadenza Cartoons, performed at Central Park Summerstage in 1989. With mis-matched fantasy costumes from the Costume Collection, the voices of Michael Preston, Josh Mostel and Mary Shulz, choreographed with a sense of humor to several Mozart Horn Concertos, this dance was a mainstay of the Project Co. repertory - when there was repertory. 

This midsummer's night performance features Cathy Zimmerman, Tom Grunewald, Nathaniel Lee and Yours Truly in a costume designed to attract attention. 

Goofy enough for Youtube?
