Weathervane Playhouse in Akron, Ohio -- in collaboration with New York City-based Mainstreet Musicals -- present a very special event concert version of a new musical -- "Shine! The Horatio Alger Musical" -- for one night only: Monday, Nov. 7, 2011, at 7:30 p.m. with special guest star HAL LINDEN!
The performance takes place at Weathervane Playhouse (1301 Weathervane Lane in Akron, Ohio, 44313)
"Shine! The Horatio Alger Musical" -- described by TheatreMania.com as "a charming, feel-good musical" -- follows the tale of Ragged Dick, Horatio Alger's first best-selling hero.
Dick's adventures bring him face to face with scheming ex-convicts, vicious comic villains, kind benefactors and a world of colorful street characters in this charming rags-to-riches romp for the whole family. "Shine!" will be presented in a staged concert format.
Mainstreet Musicals, started by Tony Award-nominee Tim Jerome, is a centrally coordinated network of local theater festivals. These festivals introduce new, award-winning musicals in development to audiences throughout the United States. All proceeds from the Nov. 7 performance of Shine! will benefit both Weathervane Playhouse and Mainstreet Musicals.
