Four LeMoyne Stars

Something big started yesterday – something you won’t want to miss. No, this isn’t about the Rio Summer Olympics. I’m talking about Sandy Arts Guild’s production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Opening night was last night, and it closes August 13. We’ve been rehearsing for an empty amphitheater until now, but last night there was thunderous applause and laughter, in all the right places. I play a keyboard in the orchestra, but I almost never sound like a piano. I’m the Calypso steel drum in Under the Sea, a funky electric guitar in She’s in Love, marimbas in Kiss the Girl, and a variety of other instruments that would otherwise not fit into the orchestra pit. I’ve heard the costumes, the scenery and the dancing are wonderful, but I’ll never see any of it. You should go, and then tell me how you liked it. I can almost guarantee you won’t be exposed to raw sewage or the Zika virus.
