Welcome alumni!

In addition to this year’s show, Mary Poppins, there are other plans in the works. We wanted to let you know about two things right away: 

1) On Saturday, August 6th, there will be an alumni gathering at Manorhaven Park in the afternoon before the show. More details will be forthcoming, but plan to be there!

2) David Barnett, the program’s first musical director, invites all Summer Show alumni to contribute their voices to a virtual choir! He has written a medley called “First 50 Shows” to celebrate the first 50 summers. This will be a virtual production merging videos that alumni (YOU!) will make of themselves singing bits of songs from all those shows. (And yes…the Covid “Can’t Stop Us” series is represented as well!) The medley will also be performed live by alumni who can attend the planned alumni meet-up on August 6th.   Details about how to make and submit your 'First 50 Shows' video, along with links to the music and reference tracks, can be found at this link:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/oqy6sqsceh9rep1/HowToRecordMedleyNotes-v2.pdf?dl=0  The medley is 15 minutes long and covers all 50 summers. You need to submit your video by July 4th so the final product can be assembled by the weekend of this summer's show. 

So don't wait to learn it and make your video.  David is also planning to include musicians who played in the pit orchestra over the years to play the arrangement. If you are still playing these days, please contact David at DavidBarnett101@gmail.com so he can include your instrument in the arrangement. If you know someone who played, tell them!  

Get started! Spread the word! Break a leg!
