2010/2011 Performance Season: It's Gonna Be BIG!

Welcome to our seventh season of big-name entertainment here at the FAC! This year’s theme, IT’S GONNA BE BIG, captures the fame of the B-52s, LeAnn Rimes, Michael Bolton and A Chorus Line, and the amazing impact of Drumline Live! and Naturally 7.

This best-ever series brings you entertainers you've know all your lives, along with some of the hottest new talent in the world. The B-52s, LeAnn Rimes and Michael Bolton are icons and legends we have loved. Naturally 7 has become an international phenomenon as special guests in Michael Buble’s Crazy Love Tour. Drumline Live! features the explosive choreography and big marching band sounds of 39 cast members. And A Chorus Line is the longest running, most beloved show ever on Broadway, winning nine Tony Awards, including “Best Musical” and a Pulitzer Prize for drama.

We hope you will join us for six big evenings of entertainment. Our season ticket support has been far greater than expected, and we thank everyone who joins in our celebration of the arts and entertainment.

Forest Hills Summer Stock 2010 program is proud to present the classic musical, The Music Man on July 14-16 at the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center. Four peformances will be presented, including one matinee show on Friday, July 16 at 3 p.m. During the performance, enjoy the show's well-known songs, "76 Trombones" and "Till There Was You" among other Music Man favorites sung by talented Forest Hills students!

"Professor" Harold Hill arrives in small town River City, Iowa with a plan:  to cheat the city residents out of money by convincing them they need a boy's marching band (to keep the kids out of trouble) and that he is the man to help them with this problem. He'll get the citizens to pay for uniforms and instruments, and then skip town with the cash, leaving the town and the band in the dust. He has his own problems, though:   not only does he have no musical skill, he is also starting to fall head over heels in love with the town's librarian, Marian. Things go awry for Harold, but the end result is nothing he could have planned!

Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students age 18 and under.
