Folk It Up!
Date
September 2024
Role
Technical Director, Scenic Design, Master Electrician
Note from the Director
Many of these songs are not traditional folk; they are pop, rock, indie, and others, yet they all remain folk nonetheless. These songs speak to feelings and ideas that have always existed, and will always continue to exist. They are deeply and intrinsically human. The cast all gave their reasons for why the songs are folk in this regard. Folk music is just what the "folk" are singing, so they are here to sing.
Synopsis
Folk it Up brings us to The Spotted Trout, a fictional bar where people stop by to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and express themselves through folk music. While they might not all be traditional folk songs, they have been adapted to the folk style and still are songs that in the traditional folk style, convey a message or feeling of the performer.
