FUMC Summer Musical Announced - Legally Blonde!

**Update**  See our update on the performance of Legally Blonde in 2012.

She's Headed Off to Law School to Change the World - It's Legally Blonde for our Exciting Summer Musical

The FUMC drama committee announces that this year's summer musical will be the fresh-from-Broadway-and-tour musical, Legally Blonde, based on the Reese Witherspoon movie of a decade or so ago.  Filled with upbeat songs and dances, this story of self-discovery, perception versus understanding and acceptance promises to be an exciting artistic adventure for our youth and the community.  Auditions will be May 12 from 10am-2pm.  A make-up audition for those who cannot attend May 12 is scheduled for May 20 from 3-5pm.  More information will be coming soon.

To be directed by Cynthia Crass and choreographed by Megan Goldstein, Legally Blonde has only recently become available for licensing so FUMC's offering will likely be one of your first local opportunities to see this show, which will be a pleasure for families and friends of all ages.

Mark your summer calendar for performances July 25-28.

The summer youth musical is a great way to introduce friends to FUMC.  Do you know youth entering 7th grade through high school who might enjoy participating in this summer's show?  Tell them about it.  Do you have friends who enjoy great music and song?  They probably haven't seen Legally Blonde.  Encourage them to attend this summer.  This is your production and ours.  Let's share our excitement with our greater community.

Keep your eyes open for future announcements.  There may even be a few opportunities announced for cameo parts by some of the older aspiring actors in our church community.

Save the Date - Summer Musical Auditions:  Youth entering grade 7 in fall 2012 through grade 12 are invited to summer musical auditions for Legally Blonde on May 12 from 10-2; a make-up date is scheduled for May 20 from 3-5.  More information available soon.
