COMPANY OR GROUP: Otherworld Theater Company SHOW: Moon, Prism, Power! A Sailor Moon Musical Parody by Tiffany Keane Schaeffer

DIRECTOR: Tiffany Keane Schaeffer

Run Dates: Spring 2017 - Summer 2018 Run Location: Otherworld Theatre, Wrigleyville, Chicago, IL Role: Sailor Jupiter

I began this project with an amazing group of women at Otherworld around January 2017, thought the final ‘episode’ would not wrap until 2018 in late spring. Being able to work on something for so long was truly a blessing. I was able to do a lot of personal research on Sailor Jupiter during the shows she wasn’t a part of, though I was still utilized in other roles during the episodes. Finally, when Jupiter got her arrival dance and song, though I was out of my element I felt overjoyed with childlike performance happiness! This whole show was an amazing mixture of nostalgia, female empowerment and embracing modern nerd culture. My FAVORITE aspect of this performance by far was the fight choreography. It was my first introduction to fight choreography on stage, in earnest, and it inspired me to learn more later in my career. This group of girls was like family by the end of the show, and amazing director Tiffany Shaeffer always has big bad things going on.
