From previewing tick, tick ... BOOM! to why it's theatre and not theater with UW-L's Nic Barilar
Description
From why it’s theatre and not theater to working on our British accents and Muppet voices to the upcoming musical “tick, tick … BOOM!” getting underway this weekend with UW-La Crosse assistant professor of theatre and production director, Dr. Nic Barilar.
The show — which is also a Netflix movie — opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday from the Frederick Theatre in Morris Hall, which is unique in itself. Barilar said they haven’t had a musical in that theatre, which has a three-sided stage surrounded by the audience.
If it wasn’t obvious, we get into all kinds of things with Barilar from the backstory of tick, tick … BOOM! to just being a theatre professor and what that all entails — like teaching dialects and accents.
UW-L students will perform tick, tick … BOOM! this Friday-Sunday and next week Thursday-Sunday - the Sunday shows being 2 p.m. matinees. Get tickets here.
