Challenges to Overcome:
Collaboration with School of Music opera department
Large cast with graduate and undergraduate actors
Lead team of ASMs and filled in when stage manager was absent
Show presented in new space that was built for concerts rather than musicals
Many set pieces with very limited backstage room
Non-firing weapon onstage
Large group dance numbers
Fight and intimacy choreography
