Eastern Shore Repertory Theatre presents The Music Man
for the second annual Theatre on the Bluff production
at Henry George Park in Fairhope April 30-May 2, 2015

Eastern Shore Repertory Theatre (ESRT) will present The Music Man for the second annual Theatre on the Bluff production at Henry George Park in Fairhope April 30-May 2, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. ESRT’s 2014 production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat drew record crowds to Fairhope’s bluff park, so a Thursday night performance has been added to the schedule.          

Directed by Erin Langley and choreographed by Matthew Kiel, The Music Man is a family-friendly story that appeals to every generation. The Music Man has entertained audiences since 1957, and ESRT’s production will be set under the stars with Mobile Bay as the backdrop. Meredith Wilson’s six-time, TONY Award-winning musical comedy features well-known scores such as “76 Trombones” and “Til There Was You.” ESRT’s cast of more than 70 local performers includes special guest performances by Fairhope’s Mayor Tim Kant in the role of Mayor Shinn and Fairhope Elementary principal Terry Beasley as the train conductor.

            All shows begin at 7:30 p.m., and gates to the bluff will open at 6:30 p.m. each evening. Patrons should bring their own blanket or lawn chair, and picnics are encouraged. Concessions will also be available for sale.

            Tickets are on sale now at www.easternshorerep.com and can also be purchased at the gate the night of the show. Tickets are valid only for the date printed on the ticket. If ESRT must cancel a performance due to weather, tickets for the canceled performance will be valid for our rain date performance Sunday, May 3, 2015, 7:30 p.m. at Henry George Park in Fairhope, weather permitting. All tickets are non-refundable.

            ESRT creates innovative, high-quality theatre experiences and facilitates the integration of arts and education through camps, classes and annual productions. ESRT and director Erin Langley recently received national accolades at the 2015 Junior Theater Festival and have performed at the Southeastern Theatre Conference.
