As far as Krysta performing in Black Suits....she'd have to take the time off of ITH no matter what. Lead roles do it all the time. Why does it matter whether she's a lead or an ensemble member to have taken time off to do do BS?
I'm assuming, of course, that the performance schedule for the festival follows a traditional schedule.
And there are a few (unsubstantiated) rumors that I've heard regarding Krysta and some of the posted thoughts/questions.
1. She was heavily courted to leave ACL for ITH. (Which of course NOW seems like a great decision)
2. She WANTED to audition for WSS and was turned down stating she was too old.
AGAIN: I can't substantiate the above statements, just things I've heard.
I was dissappointed....last summer I saw SA just after she left and ACL just before she started (both within the same week). So I've only seen her in ITH and performing at a few Joe Iconis gigs. She does light up a stage!!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
