(by Beth Curley, Charleston Stage Communications Manager) During last weekend’s performances, Charleston Stage Props Master Michael Christensen took some wonderful shots from backstage which feature the actors of The Producers. The photos featured in this blog highlight the chorus of The Producers. These very talented actors, singers, and dancers have graced the Sottile Stage throughout the entire Season. In The Producers, they play multiple roles from chorus line dancers, to supporting roles, little ol’ ladies, and even pigeons! Special thanks for all their hard work, dedication and talent!

(Moments later, these actors perform in the musical number “I Wanna Be A Producer”)
(Spoil Alert! This photo was taken during the scene following “I Wanna Be A Producer” where some of the chorus girls have remained on stage and are hiding behind the pigeon coupe to work the pigeon puppets. Our props go out to Set Designer Stefanie Christensen for creating such a clever set piece!)
(In this photo, the chorus appear as the old ladies of Little Ol’ Lady Land. This number requires the entire cast, both male and female actors to dress up as Little Ol’ Ladies)
