Director's Notes
by Rebecca Bailey

Using Marc Blitzstein's 1937 musical The Cradle Will Rock as our artistic anchor, all in the right time extracts three songs that have significant relevance to our cohort's experience navigating 2020. "The Freedom of the Press" is a dance music video mixing 1930's and 2020 dance styles to show that the press' freedom is still under attack today. "Gus and Sadie Love Song" is a musical Zoom gathering where we are happy to see each other, but the reasons behind the need for the virtual media are palpable and inescapable. And "Nickel Under Your Foot" explores what anyone not posed with the perfect combination for maximum privilege shares.
