I believe Vogel chose the Greek Corus to put an emphasis on just Li'l Bit and Uncle Peck's lines. With just the two of them portraying their lines solo, you pay more attention to the emotions of the lines, and the reactions between the two of them. It's kind of a way of centralizing the focous on just the two of them, yet still showing what everyone else was saying about them.
At first, i didn't understand why she chose to put the scence where she, Li'l Bit, was 11 towards the end. I personally prefer a chronilogical order to a play, mainly so i can keep track of things. When i got over my OCD tendencies, and after talking to a few people, i realized the strength of this choice. By doing this, she left us questioning the relationship between Li'l Bit and Uncle Peck. When did their relationship began? Who initiated it? Why didn't anyone warn Li'l Bit? Ect. This secene did alot of things. It answered our questions, showed us Li'l Bit wasn't naieve to her uncles feelings at all, and that she was partially to blame. It also answered the the question of "Where was her mother, and why wasn't she saying anything." her mother specifically warned her, and cautioned her, but Li'l Bit went anyway.
