Narrative, Choreography, and “Finishing the Hat,” With Patti Wilcox

October 19, 2023 by Katie Birenboim Leave a Comment

I had the pleasure of returning to the podcast in a pre-recorded segment I filmed with NAACP and Fred Astaire award winning Broadway choreographer, Patti Wilcox. The episode was taped in advance because, for only the second instance in Call Time history, we did the show live and in-person, as Patti and I were staying catty-corner (or perhaps "citty-corner," as we explore at … [Read more...] about Narrative, Choreography, and “Finishing the Hat,” With Patti Wilcox

About Call Time

I have adored musical theatre since my grandparents took me to a regional production of Peter Pan at the wee age of three: I loved it so much, I cried at intermission, thinking the experience was over.
