Scarborough Music Theatre Oklahoma recap

It's been a while since my last post (my apologies). But, most of you might have heard I was the bass sub for Scarborough Music Theatre's production of Oklahoma.

Just to fill you in, someone had come out to watch Brigadoon where I was last sat in playing Bass. That person checked out my blog and then forwarded my name to another person who contacted me to see if I was interested. Long story short... I just finished playing the first week of Oklahoma as their Bass sub.

I really enjoyed being a part of Scarborough Music Theatre and I am completely impressed with the way they conduct their business. It's very professional in every facet and it seems like every one has a fun time whether in the audience, to the performers to the crew working to bring everything together backstage. From an orchestra perspective, it was great meeting some wonderful players and having a chance to play along with them. Hopefully, I'll be a part of Scarborough Music Theatre again in the future.

Also, I'll keep things up to date a little better once I have my internet hooked up at my new home.

Thanks.
