Get ready for another exciting edition of PSC's annual Summer High School Onstage Workshop. This year, talented area theater students will present the musical "State Fair."

Originally based on Phil Strong’s novel of the same name, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s "State Fair" was the only musical they wrote directly for feature film. In 1995, this romantic story set in America’s heartland was adapted for the stage, featuring additional songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein songbook. "State Fair" follows the Frake family’s journey from their farm to the three-day 1946 Iowa State Fair. Ma and Pop are intent on winning prizes for their accomplishments in hog raising and mincemeat cooking, while their children Margy and Wayne have romantic adventures ahead of them. "State Fair" features an Academy Award-winning score, including the hit song, “It Might as Well Be Spring.”

Thanks to all for making "All Shook Up" a great success. Here are some parting words from Keanu and Lance.

TBT: On Feb. 22, PSC hosted the Florida Bandmasters' Association's District 1 High School Jazz Band Festival. At the end of the festival, the Band Directors' Jazz Band performed for the students. This is a clip of the last minute of the set. It is great to see these young people show their appreciation for their band directors. Give us a thumbs-up if you see your band director in this all-star ensemble.
