Experience the Best of Broadway Here in Gettysburg
Tickets to a Broadway show not part of your
financial plan? You can take a tour of American
musical theater without leaving Gettysburg in our
Best of Broadway class series. Instructor Mary
George has decades of experience as musical director
for local Broadway productions, and she’s designed
each series of three classes to explore a different
example each week of the best Broadway has to
offer—past and present—using recorded scores of
original casts, scenes from movie versions, live
performances by guest artists, and best of all, a
chance to sing along with your favorite songs from
the show! It’s the next best thing to having an
orchestra seat—and a lot easier on the budget!
Best of Broadway: March Wednesdays, March 7, 14, and 28, 6-8 p.m.
This is a great series to take
before seeing this spring’s local high school
musical productions, as we’ll be discussing
