...and IN THE WINGS

Director Jennifer Baptiste is beginning rehearsals for the next SLT production, Once on This Island. With music and lyrics by Lynn Aherns, Once on This Island is an exciting Broadway musical inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid. The story is deceptively simple. It takes place on the island of Haiti.  A peasant girl has fallen in love above her class and this is told around a fire by a group of Caribbean peasants as they wait out a terrible storm. However, as the story unfolds, themes about social classes, dreams, family and love, all combine to create a magical tale.

PANDEMIC PICKS

Noises Off

This film follows the rehearsal and performance of a dreadful farce called Nothing On, a hit British show that is preparing for its American debut in  Des Moines, Iowa, with a second-rate,  Broadway-bound theatrical troupe under the direction of Lloyd Fellowes.

 An all-star cast fills Peter Bogdanovich's film including Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Marilu Henner, Nicollette Sheridan, Julie Hagert, and Mark Linn-Baker. Among the characters are a fading star Dotty Otley (Burnett), a hot-tempered and scatter-brained Garry Lejeune (Ritter), an insecure matinee heartthrob Frederick Dallas  (Reeve) the myopic leading lady Brooke Ashton (Sheridan), the bubbly Belinda Blair (Henner), and an alcoholic character actor Selsdon Mowbray (Elliott). Frantically working behind the scenes are Tim Allgood (Linn-Baker) and Poppy Taylor (Hagerty). Michael Caine leads as director Fellowes. 

BROADWAY BAKING

No-Knead Christmas (or Anytime) Loaf from Dear Evan Hansen’s Michael Park

The recipe:
3 cups All Purpose flour
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast
1 1/4 cup room temp water
1/2 cup room temp lager (I like Guinness actually)
2 Tbsp white vinegar

While the kiddos are still asleep... Mix all ingredients in a bowl with the handle end of a wooden spoon until all flour is blended in—about 5 minutes. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit in a dry warm place for the day (approximately 8 hours, but you’ll see the dough rise to twice its original size). With a spatula, scrape the dough from the bowl to a floured surface to shape. Using your thumb and fore finger gently pinch the “4 corners” of the dough, lift and bring to the center. You will then flip the dough over and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Using the parchment as a sling, transfer the dough and parchment to a cast iron Dutch oven. (You can grab one of these online for only $25 and they are super useful!!) Let the dough proof for another couple hours. Prepare the oven. I like to preheat to 500 degrees, if your oven only goes to 450, that's fine. While the oven is preheating take a sharp knife and score an “X” in the top of the loaf. Once the oven is ready, place the Dutch oven in the oven with the top on for 20 minutes. Remove lid and bake for another 20 minutes. Let the loaf cook for at least 30 minutes before cutting to serve.
