by Thomas Sigel 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Ohio Regional Music Arts and Cultural Outreach (ORMACO) and the Wadsworth Public Library continue Live at the Library with singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, mandolin, bass, harmonica, percussion, keys) Jerry Popiel on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at 2 pm at the Wadsworth Public Library, 132 Broad Street, Wadsworth, OH 44281. Jerry explores the high-water mark of classic singer/songwriters, performing hits and deeper cuts from the era’s luminaries such as James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel, Gordon Lightfoot, Dan Fogelberg, America and more. During that era, insightful folk-rock lyrics and inspired melodies ruled the airwaves in a way that later artists largely have not. Performed in an intimate solo acoustic guitar setting, Jerry brings those songs to life in an authentic and vibrant way. The program is free. Seating at programs is on a first come first served basis. Learn more at www.ormaco.org.

AUDITION NOTICE for BOOM! THEATER DISASTER! A Hilarious Musical Comedy featuring some of the most unforgettable songs of the 70's such as: "Knock on Wood", "Hooked on a Feeling", "Sky High", "I am Woman" and "Hot Stuff" are just a few of the scintillating hits with a book by three-time Emmy award nominee and Sirius Broadway Host, Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick. It's 1979, and New York's hottest A-Listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. Also attending is a faded disco star, a sexy nightclub singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys who are looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun with a gambling addiction. What begins as a night of boogie fever, quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves, and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they've lost... or at least escape the killer rats. CASTING All Ethnicities.

Our programs cultivate an enthusiastic learning environment that supports creative expression while nurturing a high degree of discipline and focus.
