Band Geeks!

The Human Race Theatre Company will present Band Geeks! Conceived by Tommy Newman; book by Tommy Newman and Gordon Greenberg; lyrics by Gaby Alter and Tommy Newman; music by Gaby Alter, Mark Allen and Tommy Newman.

The Cuyahoga Marching Beavers are 75 trombones short of a Music Man, and there’s only one cornet left, but while the band may be close to extinction, its spirit isn’t. Band Geeks! is a rousing Glee with instruments, a tribute to the tribulations of the millions who have spent football halftimes pounding out Sousa-like renditions of “Maria.” If you were ever in a school band, ever knew someone in a school band, even ever heard a school band, you’ll recognize the woes and revel in the fun of Band Geeks!

The schedule includes a Thursday night preview preceded by the Inside Track discussion with the director in the Loft lobby; Friday Opening Night followed by a party with the cast; A Tuesday night Lite Fare; A While We're on the Subject talkback after a Sunday matinee; and a Saturday signed and audio-described performance opportunity.
