FREE ADMISSION for the premiere of the new musical comedy
"WHERE THERE'S A WILL."
TWO STAGED READINGS will be held THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY (September 11 & 12), 7:30pm,
at the Aurora Community Theatre (115 East Pioneer Trail, Aurora, OH).
Audiences are invited to share their opinions of the show,
to help further develop this new work.
Musical whiz kid Will Taylor has been having one of those days; and unfortunately, it looks like he's going to continue having them for the next three to five years... After a New Year's celebration gone horribly right, Will finds himself on the wrong side of the judge's bench, facing a rap for public urination. And he's not the only one with problems. A philosophical debate between wardens has put the prison’s first Easter musical in jeopardy. Will the show go on? Will our hero stand tall? Will someone get shanked with improvised weaponry?
Full of trials, triumphs, and a colorful cast of convicts, Where There's a Will is a hilarious tale that proves a warm embrace is never farther than the next bunk—whether you want it or not— and that, no matter how big the cage, the human spirit can never really be kept imprisoned.
Written by Tim Shaffer, with additional music & lyrics by Dustin Oliver.
