In Like a Lion

Man, March is busy! It started off with a great Mastersingers concert weekend, then this past weekend we had both the Mid-Columbia Symphony concert AND the anniversary celebration of Joel and Debra Rogo and their Mid-Columbia Ballet. All three of these groups will collaborate on "Carmina Burana" on May 12 - wow!

And there are so many middle school and high school productions going on, I can't even keep track.

Tomorrow night is your last chance to audition for Richland Players' next production, "Trip to Bountiful," and the next two weekends you can see their current show, "Dearly Beloved," - stop by the box office and your chances of seeing me are pretty high.

This weekend Community Concerts of the Tri-Cities will present "Il Voce," which I will miss since I'm house managing for "DB" - let me know how they are!

Then next weekend Mid-Columbia Musical Theatre (formerly Richland Light Opera Company) opens Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" and the Academy of Children's Theatre opens "West Side Story." I hear great things about both, and I am especially looking forward to hearing Mastersinger Ty Wilde as Tony.

At the end of the month Reg Unterseher will present a forum on ePublishing, and the Count Basie Orchestra is coming to Kennewick High School. I guess everyone gave up sleeping for Lent.
