"The Vaudevillians" is a musical, heavy on song and dance, recalling the music and comedy routines of the days of ' vaudeville. For director Steve Coopman it means a new challenge after his critically -acclaimed production of "The Shortest Distance Between Two Points" which opened Theatre Circle's spring season. That show was a straight comedyand the staging was relatively straight -forward compared to the complieated musical numbers and music - hall comedy routines of "The Vaudevillians". However Mr. Coopman comes to the: task with . plenty of ex- perience in the musical theatre, including directing several operas. For the cast of two mien and a woman it requires plenty of versatility, showing off their skills . as singers, dancers and comedians. Musical director Rick Maltese must master the sle of the old vaudeville m0;is is which makes up much he show and blend it with additional music composed by Toronto composer David Warrack. . Designer Wendy Ball has the task of designing a theatre within a theatre. An old-fashioned vaudeville stage, complete with painted scenery, must be built by Uwe Meyer to fit inside the regular stages of the theatres to ve visited by The Theatre Circle.
