The talented Ms. Maas went missing for a couple of days from Theatre VCU last week to choreograph
"You Could Drive a Person Crazy" for three Broadway actors: Jose Llana, Coleman Domingo & Ward Biellson, for the
6th annual Broadway benefit - Broadway Backwards. Co-produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids and the LGBT Center, it played for one evening only, Monday, Feb. 7th, and earned over $280,000.
She reported it was a wonderful night, and that she dearly misses the days when she was the associate director & choreographer for the whole show. Just 2 years ago she choreographed Whoopi Goldberg in "Gee, Officer Krupke". How much fun do you think THAT was!?

Speaking of talent here's a snapshot of Penny's career - her first Broadway show was Crazy for You. She left that after three years to join Damn Yankees (with Jerry Lewis) for a year or so, rejoined Crazy and then went on to a few years in Cabaret at Studio 54. That's 3 major Broadway musicals in 10 years, boys and girls. Don't forget her four years with Swing Time Canteen.... singing, dancing and playing a clarinet.
We've got her now... and for a limited time only! Penny brings Broadway to her voice lessons and movement classes, and we're proud and pleased to have her in the MFA Movement Track.
