The Best Christmas Pageant Ever - The Ensemble
The ensemble is the backbone of every successful production. Ensemble members must be talented, focused, disciplined and creative. They sing the harmonies, they dance the production numbers and they breathe energy into every scene. The ensemble is invaluable.
Last year BYPC brought a remarkable performance of “Newsies” to the Derryfield stage. The story is inspirational. The music is compelling. And the dance is the star. And all of that happens through the ensemble. Check out this photo. The intensity and energy that exudes from the ensemble was palpable providing the dimension and power that lifted our performance to pure magnificence.
With a cast of 52 talented performers the BYPC’s 2019 production of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is double cast so each actor has the opportunity to play an acting role and to play an ensemble role. The experience for our young actor is immeasurable and provides unique challenges. Here are some insights from our cast.
So Mrs Armstrong, we would like to amend your statement that “there are no small parts only small actors” to that there are no small parts - period. The ensemble rocks.
