012-Lizzie

Arlington Guard had one of my favorite shows this season. I had the pleasure of seeing them four times - in prelims and finals at two WGI Regionals. Their performance, titled "Lizzie," delved into the complex tale of Lizzie Borden, exploring her tumultuous relationship with her family, her trial, and the enduring scrutiny she faced following the infamous 1892 crime. The black costumes and show design worked really well in black and white as I shot the finals at the Bethlehem show. The group was undefeated in the 2024 season, winning Scholastic A Guard at WGI finals.

The show ends with a large balance scale in the center of the floor. This scale visually represents the courtroom trial and the broader theme of justice surrounding Lizzie Borden's infamous story. The scale may tip or remain balanced, leaving the audience to interpret the unresolved questions of Lizzie's guilt or innocence. The show ends with the Lizzie character holding an axe on one side of the scale with all the members on the other side. The scale tips toward her.
