Hauser Jr. High’s production of Casablanca
Tuesday, March 23 and Wednesday, March 24, 7:00 p.m.
Free admission

In an interesting twist, this play, directed by Hauser teachers David Mason and Karina Koncius, will incorporate actual film, a first at Hauser Junior High School. The idea is to replicate the film angles and feel of the movie as closely as possible. More information about the play and its use of film was featured in articles that appeared in both The Landmark and Suburban Life last week.

Both directors are excited about the show this year because the great cast features very strong lead actors and a huge cast of extras, including Nazis, Moroccans and spies. Additionally, there will be a surprise at the end of a show: a technological slight of hand that will leave viewers marveling at its sophistication!

The entire cast has rehearsed tirelessly to present a high-quality, dramatic, action-filled play. For more information, please contact: Mrs. Koncius at konciusk@district96.org or Mr. Mason at masond@district96.org. See you at the show!

Hauser Jr. High invites you to travel back in time to small town turn-of-the-century life with its heart-warming production of the American musical classic, The Music Man. With a cast of 50 students (plus more than 60 students and parents working behind the scenes), the musical follows smooth-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, who tries to convince the town to organize a boys’ band. You’re sure to enjoy the memorable River City townsfolk, witty script, and catchy tunes such as “The Wells Fargo Wagon,” “Seventy-Six Trombones,” and “Till There Was You.”

The musical is co-directed by Mr. David Mason and Ms. Laura Lynch, with musical accompaniment by Mrs. Patricia Goyette-Gill and Mr. James Colombo. Although there is no charge for admission, donations toward expenses will be gratefully accepted.
