THE MUSIC MAN
BORAH HIGH SCHOOL
1/24-1/26/2013
An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall. Perfect for professional theatres, community groups, summer stock and schools alike, this award-winning, critically acclaimed Broadway classic is an all-American institution, thanks to is quirky characters, charmingly predictable dramatic situations, and one-of-a-kind, nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads which have become popular standards. The cast features a soaring soprano ingenue, parts for young performers and children, and one of the musical theatre's treasures, a tour de force leading role for a charismatic actor who doesn't need to be a trained singer. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, THE MUSIC MAN is family entertainment at its best.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST
Knock 'Em Dead Dinner Theatre
1/25-2/23/2013
The brilliant play about boisterous, brawling, fun-loving rebel R.P. McMurphy, who swaggers into a mental hospital and takes over. A lusty, life-affirming fighter, McMurphy rallies the other patients and challenges the dictatorship of the Big Nurse. This defiance soon develops into an all-out war between the two relentless opponents. Funny, shocking and profoundly moving, the play is one of the classics of American drama.
