Dubbed "King of Swing" after his hit "Begin the Beguine," Artie Shaw was thereafter renowned for his innovative combination of instruments.

Honky Tonk Angels The Capitol Theatre - Chambersburg, PA	Purchase
About Honky Tonk Angels ~ Author of the hit Broadway show, Always Patsy Cline brings America's hottest new country musical, Honky Tonk Angels to the stage. ~ The show is performed by Springer Theatricals of Georgia and has been touring the United States to delighted audiences everywhere. It happens every day of every year. Somewhere in America, a girl quits her job, kisses her loved ones goodbye and climbs aboard a Nashville-bound Greyhound. And every day of every year, those girls arrive in Music City with little more than a dream to sustain them. This raucous and touching musical spotlights three women who gamble everything for a chance to become country music stars. Honky Tonk Angels is Ted Swindley's funny and tender Valentine to the female singers in the country music pantheon - many of whom rode that same bus from Anywhere, USA. The show tells the story of three aspiring young singers who walk away from their work-a-day lives and head for Nashville. Honky Tonk Angels features professional powerhouse singer-actresses performing 20 country classics including "Stand by Your Man," "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Harper Valley PTA," "Nine-to-Five," "Ode to Billie Joe" and "Harper Valley PTA." "Honky Tonk Angels is a unique musical theatre entertainment," says producer and director Paul R. Pierce. "It explores the unbridled desire that drives a poor young farm girl, a weary housewife or a stressed-out secretary to drop everything and roll the dice in the world's most competitive and brutal industry - all for the love of music. Of course, the song list for this show reads like a Nashville greatest hits record, so Honky Tonk Angels is also a thrilling nostalgic journey for the audience."

The Sound Of Music The Capitol Theatre Chambersburg PA17201	Purchase
About The Sound Of Music While war II is nipping at Austria's door, a young postulate named Maria is failing miserably in her attempts to become a nun. When Navy captain Georg Von Trapp whose wife has died writes to the convent asking for a governess that can handle his seven mischievous children, Mother Superior chooses Maria. The Captain is often away but runs his household as strictly as he does the ships he sails on. The children are unhappy and resentful of the governesses that their father keeps hiring, and have managed to run each of them off one by one. When Maria arrives, she is initially met with the same hostility, but her kindness, understanding, and sense of fun soon draws them to her and brings some much-needed joy into all their lives -- including the Captain's. Eventually he and Maria find themselves falling in love, even though Georg is engaged to someone else and Maria is still a postulant. The romance makes them both start questioning the decisions they have made. Their personal conflicts soon become overshadowed, however, by the impending war Germany has waged as Austria is about to come under the control of Germany, and the Captain may soon find himself drafted into the German navy and forced to fight against his own country.
