"Chicago" : From where i Sit
By Courtney Jones
23 July 2008
In my small town of Lynchburg, Virginia, E.C.Glass High has put out some of the best high school theater productions on the eastern seaboard. This year, under the fine direction of Mr. Jim Ackley, the production "Chicago" became a huge attraction (as they all do), drawing in one of the top box office revenues next to our previous production of "Les Miserables" a few years back (also under direction of Mr. Jim Ackley).
I, a member of the E.C.Glass Pit Orchestra for this show, had great photo opportunities from our seats along the top of the set, about 10 feet off the ground. Our position was right in the middle of all the action of the show, as the live jazz music was written as a major 'part', so to say, we hinted certain attitudes and major time setting details. The whole experience was exhilarating and one of a kind. I hope you enjoy the production of "Chicago" from my perspective.
