The super storm that devastated the East Coast last month didn't halt the elections to the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society's national board. Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall in New York and New Jersey on Oct. 29, caused billions of dollars in damage and claimed some 100 lives. It was also a major disruption to the theater community, shutting down Broadway shows and delaying casting calls for actors. Despite the storm, there were a "record" number of ballots returned in the elections for the national board of the Sdc, a union representing professional stage directors and choreographers. Karen Azenberg, who was reelected as Sdc president, said she was "amazed by the participation and unity of Sdc's Membership." "Despite the aftermath from Hurricane Sandy a record number of ballots were returned and our Tellers Committee Members made it in to count them, demonstrating the resiliency and dedication of our membership," Azenberg said in a statement.
