Weathervane Playhouse
Salon Reading Series Presents Musical
Warm Spanish Men by Milian France
It's got swashbuckling, salty pirates. It features moon maidens and =
orphaned children. There are manipulative angels, Hungarian fables and =
chests of gold. And it's all whipped together in a confectionery of =
romance, music and song.

A reading of Warm Spanish Men, an original musical by Akronite Milian =
France, will be presented Sunday, January 15 at 4 p.m. as one of =
Weathervane Community Playhouse's free Salon Reading Series.

Set outside of London in 1870, everyone in England thinks Roddy =
Littlejohn is long dead when, in fact, he's been on the high seas =
dueling pirates with his friend and mate, Skipper. When their ship goes =
under, Roddy vows that, if he survives, he'll return to his father and =
the girl he loved to set things right. Skipper vows to take him there =
and start life anew. But things have changed back home-and that's when =
the fun begins.

Milian France wrote the book and lyrics, collaborating with local =
composer Steve Dallas on the music. "I go to Steve with the lyrics and a =
basic melody," says France, "and then he turns it into wonderful, fully =
realized music." France and Dallas collaborated earlier to create =
several revues under the title of Piano Bar, which has also been =
performed locally.

Weathervane's Salon Reading Series provides exposure to new plays and =
playwrights. The informal readings offer audience members opportunity to =
provide feedback in discussions following the reading. Light =
refreshments are also served.

The free Sunday afternoon reading of Warm Spanish Men takes place at =
Weathervane Community Playhouse at 1301 Weathervane Lane in Akron's =
Merriman Valley, Sunday, January 15 at 4 p.m. =
