Score
Score is a study of ecstasy, articulation and genius alive in the gloriously passionate relationship between Bernstein (as portrayed by company member, Tom Nelis) and the music he encountered, played, conducted, wrote and loved. Adapted from print and media interviews with, and the writings of Leonard Bernstein, Score takes the form of a slowly unraveling lecture about music. As Bernstein reaches a point of crisis, unable to leave the stage and his audience, the relationship between the performer and the audience, the actor and the play's scenography, particularly sound design is palpably tensed. "In those moments when (the play) moves beyond words and ego to the spirit, via lilting music or a meditative silence, Bogart's SITI Company touches the transcendent... Like the man it reflects, Score is full of charisma and chameleonic charm." (The Columbus Dispatch).
