<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">The Cassidy Theatre is famous for its family friendly programming, but under the guidance of <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Music Man</I>’s director/ choreographer Lester Currie, family friendly has taken on a whole new meaning. Currie sought out families to perform together on stage to emphasize the theme of family and community. Cast member Nicholas Tabar stated <SPAN lang=EN style="mso-ansi-language: EN">"I really enjoy being in the show with my sister. After the rehearsals, she helps me with the dance moves that I had trouble with that day.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Pamela Armbruster stated “I can't believe the WHOLE family was cast in a musical together! We are having so much fun at the rehearsals just being silly and enjoying one another as we interact as our family characters. It's nice being a family in the musical because we don't have to work as hard acting like a family unit - it comes naturally. It's interesting too how we sing all the time now - in the car or just sitting around together. We have become one musical family!” Beyond the onstage experience, the production will feature brothers Blake and Ryan Kniola who will serve as Stage Manager and Sound Operator for the show. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>
