A few of the folks who have participated in Entr'acte over the past year have decided to host an evening of singing on Sunday, December 26th. Here are the details:
Performing Musical Moments
We'd like to invite you to come and participate in a different type of musical theatre presentation. As with Entre'Acte, this is all volunteer, with no pay involved.
We offer you the opportunity to prepare one song from a musical theatre show that you like. You should also prepare a very brief introduction (maybe 30 seconds to a minute long) to the show, most especially if it is a lesser-done work. If you wish, we encourage you to prepare the lead-in libretto to the song—needn't be long (maybe a page or two), but whatever portion you think will set up the song best. Stage it as much or as little as best fits the piece—off or on book at your discretion. After the introduction and lead-in, you sing your song from the show--preferably off-book, but on-book if necessary. In this way, we should get a nice variety of songs from several different shows for a great evening of musical theatre!
Please bring your own accompanist and scene partner(s)(if needed).
Please sign up as you would for a regular Entre'Acte event on Sign-Up Genius, but instead of signing up for a particular role, sign up for where your song best fits into the musical format. If more than one performer wants to sign up for a particular spot, we will be happy to work it out and work everyone in.
Who: Friends of Entre'Acte
What: Performing Musical Moments
Where: Sherman Clay Pianos recital hall, located at NW 13th and Davis. We MUST USE THE SIDE DOOR ON DAVIS. The door is locked from the outside, so you need to be let in. Someone will be monitoring the door between 5:30pm and 7pm. If you arrive after 7pm, YOU NEED TO come to the recital room window and get our attention TO BE LET INSIDE.
When: Sunday, December 26th, 7pm until everyone has had the chance to perform, no later than 10pm. If you wish, you may come in starting around 6 pm to run your song.
Why: For fun, and to learn about shows and the great songs in them
