Theater Intensive: Musical Theater

This program will consist of participat­ing in a faculty-directed stage produc­tion of the Pacific Northwest premiere of a new musical, The Flight of the Lawn Chair Man, a wonderful and wacky musical that was recently the hit of the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

Synopsis: When the quiet, suburban life of Jerry Gorman becomes too much to bear, he attaches four hundred helium balloons to a backyard lawn chair and takes to the sky. Jerry soars and soars, but he will ever come down?
