Bellas on Parade

History- Here are pictures of the 2002 Bella Donna Line-up. This year is dubbed as the "incredible shrinking bella" year. Sandy and myself were the only returning members from the previous year and we also lost 2 singers by second weekend of rehearsals, one of which was the new assistant director. However, we flourished and accomplished a lot of great street bits, including the famous "stripping woo" where we slowly peeled the clothes off of an unsuspecting man while we circled him and "wooed" him through song. This year, we based all of our characters on Commedia DellArte characters, so I  listed each of those by each singer. Be sure to visit our Commedia page for more info on each of the mask characters!
