THEATRE PORTFOLIO
to stage
'The Midnight Musical' is a fantasy-mystery escape musical written in its entirety by University students Maria Michael, Gustė Borsteikaitė and Archer Roehrig. It was performed by Dundee OpSoc members in October 2023, after just a few days of rehearsal. With familiar tunes and characters, this play brought an element of whimsy to student theatre in Dundee as a whole.
Thank you Gustė and Archer for directing, and Susanna Boyle Garcia for Choreographing. I had the best time Musical Directing, as well as designing the lighting and sound for this production.
