Episode 68: The Rosin Box: Behind the Midsummer Scenes
b'
Hosts Claire Kretzschmar and Aar\\xf3n Sanz are back for another cameo-filled conversation around The Rosin Box. On a typically drama-filled performance night of George Balanchine\'s A Midsummer Night\'s Dream, the wings are like a "zoo," filled with fairies, dogs, young dancers from the School of American Ballet, a donkey-headed danseur, plenty of sparkles, and costumes fit for the ballet\'s "cape-ography."
