Last week was amazing and busy with lots of performing and, well, little sleep! The Oxford Hills Music and Performing Arts Association (OHMPAA) production of "The Road To Eden's Ridge: The Musical" opened with its gala world premiere performance on November 8. The musical is based on the novel "The Road To Eden's Ridge" by author M. L. Rose (pseudonym of Myra McLarey and Linda Weeks). Myra McLarey was in the large, wonderful audience (no pressure, folks, right?!) The musical was written and directed by Sally Jones with music composed and directed by Steve Jones (no relation). The show sold out its Friday, Saturday and Sunday performances last week with great response from the audiences. There's limited tickets available for the remaining four shows, tonight through Sunday. The shows have gone on beautifully with lots of energy. This is a great cast and crew to work with.
The story is set in Nashville and in Eden's Ridge, a thinly disguised Norway, Maine. The original music features both country and Broadway styles, written to help tell the story about characters who follow their dreams but come to realize that family ties and love matter more.
If you haven't caught a show yet, get in touch with Books 'n Things in Norway, Maine to see what's available! (http://www.bntnorway.com)
Ever since I can remember I been inspired by music, writing, theater and art, and it's wonderful to have my life full of it all. Life is art, and the world's a stage :)
Thanks for your interest and support. More news soon!
