PETER PAN
Featured Production
Unable to reconcile the use of the term "Indian" in the script of Peter Pan with its dated original intent, Rob set the action in colonial India. The Lost boys were mixed race children born of British officers and Indian women, the Darlings were a British family stationed there, the Pirates were a female "Fishing Fleet" sent to iIndia to distract the English officers from Indian women and the Indians were played by the MSU Bhangra team. The show incorporated traditional Indian dance and theatrical techniques.

Peter Pan | 2014
It is not possible to crow too loudly about MSU’s production of Peter Pan…Director Rob Roznowski
made bold and creative choices. The first was to set the action in colonial India, which allowed him
to tap experts from across MSU. | City Pulse
Xanadu | 2013
It took courage, or maybe just bravado, to put on this wild roller disco musical. “Xanadu” featured
a crazy mix of really good roller-skating (thanks to the Lansing Derby Vixens), singing, dancing,
humor and audience participation antics. The result was unadulterated fun. | City Pulse

The Rocky Horror Show (also Choreographer)
The director decided to cast and costume away from what was done in the movie. The result was a
production that was fresh and enchanting and full of surprises. In crossing against our expectations
it renewed the shocks and surprises we felt when we first saw ‘Rocky Horror.’ | Mid-Missourian
Quite original….it was something different for the Rocky purist, and a fun taste of the cult
participation for the uninitiated. A good time was had by all. | Crazed Imaginations
