Description
Bandstand is the story of Donny Novitski, a young veteran and musician, just home from WWII. Once he returns home, he discovers that the country he fought so hard to defend has left him behind. With no work and no prospects, he comes upon the opportunity of a lifetime: A national competition to find the nation’s next swing band sensation. Donny joins forces with a motley group of fellow veterans, and the widow of his best friend, and together, they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen.
This powerful musical shines a light on the unseen struggles of those who gave their all to defend our country. In the process, it helps us experience the strength of brotherhood, the power of music, and the dignity of every human life.
Bandstand is directed by Abigail Pletcher, assistant directed by Chase Buher, and choreographed by Casey Adams
