After their milestone year, Mee-Ow is looking to balance history with fresh energy. They work quickly – every member writes two new sketches for each rehearsal. With five rehearsals a week and two shows this quarter, co-director and cast member Brenden Dahl says his goal is to maintain last year’s momentum while ensuring Mee-Ow remains a space for new expression.
BRENDEN DAHL: “I don’t want it to feel like it’s this unwieldy, grand traditional thing, I want it to just feel like a fun kinda cultural rebellion – that’s how they talked about it at the beginning – but also just like a fun party that all the, all the students want to go to.” (11s)
Their first show of the quarter, The Mee-Owgic School Bus, plays in Shanley Pavilion this Friday and Saturday at 7 and 10 pm
For Medill, I’m Ella Barnes
