by Paul Kroeger 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Get more out of your singing. Learn (or review) how to sing with your whole body, not just with your voice or your emotions. Is your throat relaxed? Are you supporting it with your diaphragm? Are you confused about it? Come and see me. How about your high notes? are they gone? Do you want them back? Do you need stronger low notes? Perhaps you can produce them so they are more reliable. Do you get hoarse easily? every day? Call me; I can help you get over it. Call me for a lesson time and rates.

Written by Rick Abbot and directed by Richard Todd,this is the story of a theatregroup trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interferencefrom a haughty author who keeps revising the script.

Whenthe author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre duringthe curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughlyhilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter. Show dates are Friday and Saturday, March 2, 3; 9, 10; 16, 17, 2018 at 8 pm and Sunday, March11, 2018 at 2 pm.
