| In November of 2008 Oregon Episcopal School will produce its first ever All-School Musical, The Music Man by Meredith Willson. There will be six performances in the beautiful World Trade Center Conference Center in downtown Portland. This great American classic will be directed by Stephanie Mulligan, along with music and drama faculty from all three divisions of the school. Stephanie has directed several OES Upper School productions and is the Literary Manager and Artistic Associate at Artists Repertory Theatre. The cast and orchestra will consist of students of all ages. We are very excited about this unique opportunity and hope you will join us in making this a great community event.

OES has always had a great tradition of parent volunteers and we can sure use some help with our off campus all-school musical The Music Man. We are so excited about producing this classic American musical at the World Trade Center next November. This is a big project and we need your help in a variety of departments. We need to costume a cast of 87 students from all three divisions, build multiple sets, acquire dozens of props, provide transportation and snacks, sell tickets and ads for the program and the list goes on and on.
Are you handy with a sewing machine or a screw gun? Do you like to shop (be honest) for odds and ends? Do you have a talent for selling ads or tickets? Do you love theater and want to be a part of our first ever all-school musical? Won’t you please consider becoming a volunteer and help make The Music Man an experience to remember for you and for our young actors, musicians, and technicians.
Thank you and let’s put on a great show together!

Students should plan to become familiar with the music over the summer. Copies of the CD will be provided to each cast member. In some cases music will be provided for band members to practice over the summer. All actors with lines should expect to be off-book by October 15, 2008. Beginning with the start of the 2008-2009 school year, students can expect to rehearse three afternoons or evenings each week. Some Saturdays will be required, and a daytime rehearsal on October 10, 2008, is expected. See the detailed rehearsal schedule with specific dates and times .
