Scrooge is a man of great wealth who rules over his community with a
cold heart and a tight fist. But on Christmas Eve, as Scrooge retires to
his bedroom, he is awaken by ghosts from the past who show him who he
was, who he's become, and - if he does not change his ways - where he
will end up.</span></div>

JACOB MARLEY: male, 30-65. Scrooge's old business partner. Jacob has
since died and, learning the error of his miserly ways, comes back to
haunt Scrooge and terrify him into reforming. Wild eyed, over the top,
with a touch of comedy.</span><br />

is large in stature, jolly, with a "Father Christmas" manner. Doubles as

<br />GHOST OF CHRISTMAS YET TO COME: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">male
or female, 20-60. The final spirit to visit Scrooge. Does not speak,

FEZZIWIG: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">male, 50-70.

<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">MRS.

<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">YOUNG
SCROOGE: male, 20-30. Scrooge as a young man. A go-getter who finds
quick success in business. He has a great love for money, but hasn't
completely lost his idealism.</span><br />
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">FAN: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">female, 20's.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Plot Summary</span></b><br />
Joseph is a handsome young man who is his father's favorite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These facts lead Joseph's eleven brothers to become insatiably jealous. Thus, they sell Joseph into slavery to some passing Ishmaelites. After refusing the advances of his owner's wife, Joseph is sent to jail. Once in jail, he quickly becomes popular due to his ability to interpret dreams. The Pharaoh soon hears of Joseph's ability and appoints him to the post of Number Two man in Egypt. Years later, Joseph's now starving brothers arrive in Egypt and ask Joseph, whom they don't recognize, for assistance. Joseph, in turn, gives his brothers a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals his identity, and reunites the family. “Joseph” is sung-through in its entirety. There is no spoken dialogue. The production covers a broad stylistic range: from country, to Elvis, to calypso, and more. It is very fast-paced, and high energy.<br />

<div style="font-family: georgia; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Vacation's over! Festival season is officially underway and our staff and volunteers are hard at work preparing for this year's Broadway In The Park. One of the benefits of our off-season break is that we have time to research new ideas to make the upcoming season even more incredible. Here are just a few things in store for 2012:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><img align="left" alt="Picture 5" border="0" height="131" hspace="5" src="http://img-ak.verticalresponse.com/media/0/a/b/0ab7b70af4/514b6ca6c0/5784b25c16/library/Picture%205.jpg" style="height: 131px; width: 157px;" title="Picture 5" vspace="3" width="157" />Mobile Credit Card Processing</strong></span> -- </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This year we're introducing mobile credit card processing at the park. Our staff will be equipped with specially-outfitted smartphones, allowing you to use your credit card to buy tickets, concessions and merchandise... right on the field! Just swipe your card, use your finger to sign the screen, and enjoy all that BITP has to offer hassle-free.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Food That Fits</strong></span> -- </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We heard your suggestions! That's why this summer we're stepping up our food offerings to give you some truly good eats this year. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We've been working with some great local vendors to bring you tastier and healthier box dinners for both kids and adults. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are also proud to be offering gourmet hot drinks served right on the field. Featuring Starbucks coffee and Ghirardelli hot chocolate (with marshmallows of course), you can snag a toasty beverage and beat the chill while you enjoy the show.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img align="right" alt="outdoor-patio-string-lights-pp1" border="0" height="131" hspace="4" src="http://img-ak.verticalresponse.com/media/0/a/b/0ab7b70af4/514b6ca6c0/5784b25c16/library/outdoor-patio-string-lights-pp1.jpg" style="height: 131px; width: 146px;" title="outdoor-patio-string-lights-pp1" vspace="4" width="146" /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Festival Atmosphere </strong></span>-- </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In addition to our red ticket booths and popcorn</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> lights</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> inside the park, we're designing a festive promenade to greet you as you walk in the gate. Stroll past themed booths where you can grab a snack, rent a blanket, and learn more about our festival community. And don't stress if there's a line to get in... our costumed musical performers will serenade you and your loved ones while you wait!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The Dates</strong></span> -- We've bumped the dates this year! That's right guys and gals, Broadway In The Park is now taking place the second week of August (9, 10, 11 & 12). We look forward to presenting our event during a time of the summer that is historically warmer, giving you every opportunity to be cozy and relaxed as you enjoy music and munchies under the stars.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I am so excited to present our third season of Broadway In The Park. What an amazing journey it's been!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Our first year was all about seeing if this over-the-top vision would work. Summer of 2010, running entirely on a wing and a prayer (and an unreasonable amount of coffee), our team managed to put together our very first show in the park. It was a success! We were blown away by the community's response and set out to see if we could do it again.<br /><br />We did. And the results last year were so much greater than we could have expected. "The Music Man" was presented to over 2,000 people, who came from all over Southern California to enjoy our special brand of theatre under the stars. It was a real treat to see everyone from couples sharing a romantic night out to parents and their young children watching a show together (some for the very first time). Seeing the kids sing and dance their way out of the gates at evening's end, filled with the wonder of live theatre, was a reminder of why we do what we do.<br /><br />Last season also saw the successful launch of our Charity Partners program, where we assigned each night to a local children's charity and raised money and awareness for their cause. I was giddy on the day that I got to deliver the checks, totaling 10% of our ticket revenue, to four very worthy organizations that are furthering music and education in our local community.<br /><br />So here we are, year three. And I'm grateful for the possibilities that lie ahead. The last two years have shown that family-friendly summer theatre has a place in the South Bay. This year is all about doing it with excellence. From healthy and tasty box dinners, to higher production values, to warm cocoa on the field at intermission, we want to create an experience for you and your loved ones that will be remembered for a lifetime.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the journey with us. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In the midst of these trying times for arts organizations across the country, we count ourselves blessed to be here with you.

So when I heard of a way to become involved with a Broadway scale extravaganza in El Segundo, I was excited to get involved!</span></span><br /> <div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> What's your vision for the gala?</span></strong></span></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">My vision for the gala is a classy event, worthy of the caliber of Broadway In The Park. I always wanted the evening to be hosted at a high-end location and the ArcLight Beach Cities Cinema Lobby and Cafe has been a perfect fit. I pictured a night that would include gourmet appetizers and live music. I also wanted to organize a silent auction that featured high-value items that would excite our guests and make the evening worth coming out for.</span></span><br /> <div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> What are some of the auction gifts this year?</span></strong></span></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Our gifts this year are really exciting. We're auctioning off a week in Cancun, Catalina Cruises, spa packages, Disneyland passes, CLOSBC opening night tickets and more. There's something for everyone!</span></span><br /> <div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></strong><br /> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>What else can guests expect?</strong></span></span></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Jeff Cason will present a high energy multi-media program that's all about BITP's summer plans. Live musical entertainment will include amazing duets sung by some of last year's stars, a barbershop quartet, as well as a few numbers from "The Music Man." The entertainment will whet the appetites of our patrons for the festival in July!</span></span> <div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br /> Why should people come to this event?</span></strong></span></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Because Broadway In The Park is a great family-friendly program that promotes community and the arts. Our gala is what funds the summer festival... so come on out, eat some good food, bid on our fabulous auction items, and help us raise money and friends in anticipation of this year's summer festival!</span></span>Social Media Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16104741194959953746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621677180799933039.post-30124096744054580932011-05-26T10:41:00.000-07:002011-05-26T10:51:41.638-07:00Donate to 76 Trombones<p style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:center"> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-style:normal"><img alt="copy-of-dsc_0019-10" src="http://img-ak.verticalresponse.com/media/0/a/b/0ab7b70af4/94f65b3b9c/962ef39fd8/library/copy-of-dsc_0019-10.jpg?__nocache__=1" style="width: 297px; min-height: 224px; height: 200px;" title="copy-of-dsc_0019-10" align="none" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family:georgia;"> <span style="font-size:12pt" size="2"><span style="font-style:normal"></span></span></p>Sound the trumpets!

(Luckily, there’s no scar.)</span></span><br /> <div> <strong><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> Have we seen you in anything lately? </span></span></strong></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I’ve performed for theaters and cruise lines all over the country. But for the South Ba</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">y, I recently portrayed Lina Lamont in Norris Theatre’s “Singin in the Rain." I also choreographed the show, which was a special treat! Other South Bay credits include “Thoroughly Modern Millie” at Musical Theatre West and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”</span></span><br /> <div> <strong><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> What is your vision for the Music Man?</span></span></strong></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">El Segundo is all about community. That is the base of my inspiration for creating fun choreography, somewhat reminiscent of Onna White’s, but with a little something extra, created specifically for this production. Be prepared to tap your toes, then have your socks knocked off! (Luckily, the grass feels great.)</span></span><br /> <div> <strong><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></strong><br /> <strong><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> What should auditioners expect when they arrive on day one?</span></span></strong></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Expect to have fun. And sweat. As long as you’re onboard with those two concepts, it’ll be a great time. And don’t be intimidated – we’ll be looking at all dance levels, so just come out, do your best and enjoy yourself!</span></span><br /> <div> <strong><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> Tell us what you love most about the show...</span></span></strong></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The Music Man has always been close to my heart. It’s one of my father’s favorites (he grew up in Iowa) and it was one of the first musicals I ever danced in when I was a teenager. Our family can’t even say the word 'Indiana' without humming “Gary, Indiana." But what I truly love about the show is it’s simple theme of love. Love of community, of family, of partners, of each other.</span></span><br /> <div> <br /> <strong><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Anything else fun, crazy, or exciting you want to add?</span></span></strong></div> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Shipoopi!!!</span></span>Social Media Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16104741194959953746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621677180799933039.post-39245038257942473082011-05-23T17:40:00.000-07:002011-05-24T12:36:33.767-07:00Music By Moonlight Gala just 10 days away!<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhji6cXlYWpaNf4spJOYfvlrJofySagtGbdX59YjCVIFBNDDD3vetxdoTH3Idiyo8DecMVP9gr5RkAKApCZWg15XAgrdJU1k0m5dc-JA-Yf-RJCW6ZzcD5hWdSq2bBs_noOE-2_5jVWpug/s1600/MBM+Logo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 105px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhji6cXlYWpaNf4spJOYfvlrJofySagtGbdX59YjCVIFBNDDD3vetxdoTH3Idiyo8DecMVP9gr5RkAKApCZWg15XAgrdJU1k0m5dc-JA-Yf-RJCW6ZzcD5hWdSq2bBs_noOE-2_5jVWpug/s400/MBM+Logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610077527376842674" border="0" /></a></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --</style><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOsZWVb7ImCUo9mUypP3g1WEKdJM4i64WxoIXtTJxOlfMAexywytSr-I8SLCXhK5742NbQqAppwPMRFLmcCCSWRgKXyKRkvGuA62l_OzVY8aZBvWcxuRMSO01_d6Y_NXXuaMQl1v6fSls/s1600/DSC_0554.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 124px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOsZWVb7ImCUo9mUypP3g1WEKdJM4i64WxoIXtTJxOlfMAexywytSr-I8SLCXhK5742NbQqAppwPMRFLmcCCSWRgKXyKRkvGuA62l_OzVY8aZBvWcxuRMSO01_d6Y_NXXuaMQl1v6fSls/s320/DSC_0554.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610081659205564034" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">On Thursday, June 2, 2011, Broadway In The </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Park presents their second annual Music By Moonlight Gala at ArcLight Cinemas Beach Cities and you a</span><span style="font-size:100%;">re invited to join the festivities!</span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"> </span><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">It's a magical evening that kicks off at 5:30pm with gourmet appetizers (CPK, Salt Creek Grille) and a high-class silent auction in the theatre's cafe, including such prizes as a week in Cancun, Catalina Cruise, spa packages, theatre & theme park tickets and more.
