Creators

George C. Wolfe

Creator Playwright and artistic director George C. Wolfe was born on September 23, 1954 in Frankfort, Kentucky. Wolfe attended the Rosenwald Laboratory School, where he discovered an interest in staging and directing. As a teenager, Wolfe...

"Mr. Wolfe is the kind of satirist, almost unheard of in today's timid theater, who takes no prisoners"

The New Yorker

"Brings forth a bold new voice that is bound to shake up blacks and whites with separate-but-equal impartiality. True satire."

Production Materials

Included in your license are the following cast and crew scripts. These materials will be shipped 60 days prior to the first performance.

A combination of the show's full script and the full vocal score. All dialogue within each song is printed in the score to prevent flipping back and forth during rehearsals. All books are spiral-bound and double-sided.

2 Director's Scripts

A single-sided, spiral-bound script designed with plenty of space for the director to take notes and add blocking during the rehearsal process.

1 Stage Manager's Script

A single-sided, three-hole punched script that can be inserted into your three-ring binder.

2 Piano/Conductor Scripts

A keyboard score that is a key part of the show's actual orchestration. This score contains both vocal parts and a cue staff, which guides the conductor through the full orchestration by informing them when instruments enter the song, as well as providing specific part lines when necessary.

Orchestrations

Bass, Drum, Guitar, Percussion, Synthesizer, Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Trombone, Trumpet
