"Logger-Rhythms" at the Heyde Center for the Arts 5/11/2005 The world premiere of a brand-new musical, Logger-Rhythms, took place at the Heyde Center for the Arts in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, May 12-15, 2005. They asked me to take some photos of the May 11 dress rehearsal. (The low lighting made it difficult to take blur-free shots without flash, so I took some with and some without, in hopes that I could get a few good ones.) (I used my Panasonic FZ20 -- a camera I've only had for six days now, so I'm still getting used to it!)

The plot involves a mathematician who comes from out East to help save a logging camp in 1880s Wisconsin. As it says on their web page:

Eccentric humor, running gags, and often math-based double entendres speckle the dialogue and even find their way into the songs. Examples can be found in the musical score containing numbers such as "I Overate and Everything's Complex" and "My Operator's Got Precedence Over You". This musical will leave you whistling about "Change" and "North Crossing" 'till the logs roll in.

Mixing math and music -- what else could you ask for? ;-)
