Othello Sound Collage

This is the first cue that brought us into Berlin in 1928. Grand Hotel is a musical of very high stakes. Over a weekend we are introduced to a Baron who is in need of money, A prima Ballerina who is at the end of her career, A devoted assistant who is filled with unrequited love, A bellhop with a new family, A businessman who turns bad, A typist who dreams of being in movies and a book keeper who is close to Death. This show is narrated by a doctor who has seen too much horror and bloodshed but will end up seeing more by the the time Monday comes.

Grand Hotel Beginning

Quixote is the tale of an old man who has spent his time reading books and imagining the adventures they tell. He lives them through reading and grows to believe he is a knight himself. He goes off on adventures with his trusty squire Sancho and ends up in the wildest places.

For the production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever we ended the show with this cue playing as the Herdmans come to christmas dinner.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Final cue

Sound is the story of two worlds. One of a half deaf, half hearing family whose parents have very different opinions on their daughter decision to get a cochlear implant. This implant will allow her to hear but, her father and many others in the deaf community are proud of their deafness and do not feel the need to change. The other side of the story revolves around Alexander Graham Bell who spent years studying the ear and the way people hear in Martha's Vineyard, an island whose principle way of communicating is American Sign Language because of its large deaf population. Bell seeks to find a cure for the deaf so he can assist his wife and all other deaf individuals to hear. Though he comes across many in the Vineyard who do not wish to hear.
