Program Schedule
October 17 (Friday) John McCutcheon Folksinger, storyteller, songwriter, hammer dulcimer master -- John McCutcheon's award-winning, best selling music has been delighting audiences for some twenty years. His family concerts have been called "little feats of magic" by the Washington Post. While playing a multitude of instruments -- guitar, banjo, fiddle, autoharp, hammer dulcimer, and piano -- McCutcheon weaves tales as modern fables, rich in history and universal in scope. Page Middle School, Gloucester			December 20 (Saturday) A Christmas Carol The classic Dickens tale comes to life in this new version written especially for Theatre IV of Richmond. Mr. Scrooge learns his proverbial lesson from the spirits of the Past, Present, and Future amidst an exciting musical score by Broadway composers Jule Styne and Bob Merrill. Theatre IV has recently joined forces with ArtReach of Cincinnati, Ohio, to bring you the best professional theater available for young audiences. Gloucester High School
February 21 (Saturday) Alice Through the Opera Glass Accompany Alice as she travels through the Enchanted Opera Forest, where instead of the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts, she meets outrageous, memorable characters from famous operas. This comic program by Virginia Opera includes music from such masters as Mozart, Humperdinck, Rossini, and others, while emphasizing musical storytelling and enduring theater. Gloucester High School			April 25 (Saturday) Stars and Constellations Nowhere is there a more delightful convergence of the art of dance and science than in this program, which offers a compelling look into the stories, myths, and celestial figures we share as we gaze into the night sky. From the abstract to the legendary, Menagerie Dance provides a fast-paced and educational program which will entertain and inform. Gloucester High School
