The cast and production team did an excellent job of creating the sobriety with which Margot experiences her new world.
Their collaboration, performed last Saturday, along with the generous allowances of the Ray Bradbury Estate, gave rise to this rainy musical.
The show was written by high school musical theater duo Hannah Mayer and Leela Kiyawat, who study at the Oakland School for the Arts, or OSA. The protagonist, Margot, was born on earth and is just old enough to remember what the sun was like before immigrating to the wetlands of Venus. The somber air of the set immediately established the tone of this musical adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer in a Day.” The story follows a group of schoolchildren on the planet Venus, where it rains ceaselessly - except for one hour of sun every seven years. An audio recording of rainfall played as the theatergoers found their seats. The stage was set with a single red chair and a closet that opened up to the audience.
