Rave On re-invents the
ordinary tribute show with an electrifying, high-energy, rock n' roll
extravaganza featuring America's Premiere Buddy Holly interpreter, Billy
McGuigan, who is a dead-ringer for the legendary rocker. Backed by the
rockin' Rave On Band, their incredible musicianship help to ignite the
stage and breathe new life into the music of Buddy Holly.
In this rock and roll
tour-de-force, audiences will experience all the thrills of a Buddy
Holly concert re-imagined which includes such hits as "Peggy Sue",
"Raining in My Heart", "It's So Easy", "That'll Be the Day", "True Love
Ways", "Oh Boy" and of course, "Rave On". But, that's only part of it!
In a unique twist, Billy as 'Buddy' celebrates the birth of an era and
pays homage to his fellow rockers Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck
Berry, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.
The Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for 38 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,300 communities this year with up to 35 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. A tour team arrives in Greenville with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play...except the cast. The team holds an open audition and casts 50-60 local students to perform in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and then the show begins. All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales . . . a twist on the classic stories that you know and love. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique, educational project. MCT's mission is the development of lifeskills in children through participation in the performing arts.
THE BLUES BROTHERS with Dan Aykroyd & Judy Belushi's Blessing
It seems like yesterday that brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues, played by John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, invited the world to join
them on a ‘mission from God’.
The hit movie The Blues Brothers was a loveable tale of redemption about the pair of paroled convicts, who set out to save the
Catholic orphanage in which they grew up, from the taxation department. As the story goes, they re-formed their rhythm and blues
band, The Blues Brothers, and organised a concert to raise $5,000 to pay off the debt and save the day.
But things never went according to plan for Jake and Elwood, and their
story evolved into a rollicking journey of misadventure, and
one of best loved movies of all time.
The Highwaymen, A Musical Tribute
Formed in 1985, the original Highwaymen consisted of Kris Kristofferson,
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. This recreation of that
amazing, never to be seen again band continues the legacy of perhaps
the greatest super group in country music history.
