News
What can you do with two rehearsals, 207 volunteers, and a rotunda? On Sunday August 22, volunteers ranging in age from 7 to 70 years old, coming from as far north as St. Cloud and as far south at Marshalltown, IA, performed a Flash Mob dance number in the Best Buy Rotunda at Mall of America to promote Chanhassen Dinner Theatre's production of ALL SHOOK UP. The performance was choreographed by Tamara Kangas-Erickson, featured several ALL SHOOK UP cast members plus over 200 volunteers, and had just two rehearsals at Chanhassen and Chaska High Schools.
