The theater, filled with over 100 people, was silent. Impatient parents and friends waited.
On the timber stage floorboards stood 15 women, curving in an arc around three microphones. Natalie Skoblow, a petite brunette, stood at the center of the arc. After a few confident glances at the surrounding women, she began to count numbers, barely audible to anyone past the third row.
“1..2…a 1, 2, 3, 4.”
And with that, the popping, syncopated beats of SUNY New Paltz’s all-female a capella group The Sexy Pitches gradually began to fill Julien J. Studley Theatre. Skoblow, the soloist that night, glanced up at the audience and took her first breath.
