2022 Fall Season

The Pagemaster

Our 2022 production "The Pagemaster" takes the audience on an adventure through the library. As we venture through the library we visit the Adventure, Horror, and Fantasy sections. Movement 1, Adventure, features the music of Randall Standridge and evokes visions of pirates and journeys at sea. During movement 2, Fantasy, the band plays the first movement from Johan de Meij’s Symphony No. 1 Lord Of The Rings. Finally we explore the Horror section with the song “Façade” from the Broadway musical Jekyll And Hyde.
