Gennine Harrington is a choreographer, actor, and teacher who has worked with theatre companies all over the Bay Area, most notably Tri-School high school theatre for over twenty years, and Hillbarn Theatre, where she has worked with the youth conservatory (with both Noah and Xandra!) for over ten years as well.
Together with Xandra and Noah, they discuss why Gennine is drawn to working with high school actors, the growing need to examine the historical context of classic shows, reflecting on the legacy of Grease (a problematic fave), Gennine’s experience as an understudy in the iconic San Francisco musical revue Beach Blanket Babylon, and how a dream ballet helped her connect with her late father. Plus, Noah's thoughts after seeing the new revival of 1776.
Be sure to catch Tri-School Productions' award-nominated production of Matilda's performance at the Rita Moreno Awards for excellence in high school theatre on May 8th!
