Bloodbrothers I was approached while working on Hello Dolly to do Blood Brothers. After reading the script I fellin love with the plot and the theme right away. After looking into the historyof Britain late 50's to Middle 70's (Where Blood Brothers takes place) thereseems to be a constant struggle between the class systems, which surprisesurprise, Blood Brothers seems to enhance that motif.
I decided to go in the direction of "Clash ofthe Classes" for my design, and I hit the concept quite literally. On oneside of the stage, you have rich, power..And on the other side you have poorand decay, and since the show is about twins who are separated at birth, (oneinto a rich family, and the other staying with the poor) I decided to play withparallels and mirror imagery.

Blood Brothers Review (The Cassidy Theatre)
"[Trinidad] Snider takes a good play...and makes it better, surrounding herself with an absolutely fantastic cast, and with a set, lighting, and costumes to match. It is no wonder that this production received a standing ovation on opening night."
