 Metroactive Stage | 'A Taffeta Christmas'
WITH A Taffeta Christmas, a Tabard Theatre Company production currently running at the Triton Hall Pavilion, the singing foursome posing as four Muncie Indiana sisters (a la the Lennon sisters), circa 1959, seems to have moved up in the world since we saw it last spring in the original Tabard show.
Under the direction/choreography of Nancy Kwong with choreographer Kim Saunders, the Taffetas have added footwork and varied staging, and they punctuate song ends by striking poses with the visual sophistication of a chorus line.
That and the Taffetas' detailed, eternally matching accessories (costumer Marilyn Watts) demonstrate that the art of being a female ideal is about carefully choreographed performance.
