In fact, just two months ago, he helped create the Human Race\u2019s \u201cAmericana Christmas,\u201d among the numerous shows featuring his music direction as a Human Race Resident Artist. Personally, his fantastic music direction and accompaniment of the Human Race\u2019s jazz-driven \u201cPlay It Cool\u201d developmental workshop will always be a favorite of mine.<\/p>\n<p>At WSU, Woolley was serving in his seventh year as music director. In addition to last fall\u2019s \u201cCrazy for You,\u201d he also conducted \u201cGrand Hotel,\u201d \u201cHot Mikado,\u201d \u201cLes Mis\u00e9rables,\u201d \u201cNo, No, Nanette,\u201d and \u201cFiddler on the Roof\u201d among many others.
