Today while figuring out in earnest Dennis A. Oliveira❤️ how not to move for 15 minutes at my Brunnhilde ring of fire end scene, I was reminded of a student named Delilah from my days of teaching on the south side of Chicago in the 1990s. A special teaching memory includes when my 4-8th grade chorus was chosen sing as the chorus with Donny Osmond in Joseph for 4 months at the Chicago theater. It was from October 1993-January 1994. The kids did 4 shows a week for 4 months and received an honorarium. During Donny’s “close every door” solo as Lionel Downer may recall, the kids weren’t allowed to move. I remember Delilah exclaiming to me each time “Ms Perryman; it’s killing me!” We’d laugh and persevere. Delilah, now I really get it. You weren’t wrong. ❤️ 🎭
