OVERTONES
Issue No 262 |
May 2009 |

A Message from Our President...
If you missed The Producers, you missed one of the best shows presented on the Music Guild stage. Not quite 2,200 persons attended the show, masterfully staged and directed by a team led by Kevin Pieper. The Producers featured an experienced, talented and enthusiastic cast and left the audience wishing for more. Congratulations to all involved.
Next up comes the audience favorite The King & I, June 12-14 and 18-21. You can order tickets now by calling the Guild box office at 762-6610. Guild veteran Bill Marsoun is leading the directing team. The show features a talented cast and some of the all-time, audience-favorite songs. Call now!
You're reading a "bonus" issue of Overtones made possible by technology and the dedication of Jen Sondgeroth, who's been editing overtones since December. Jen just finished a stint as assistant director of The Producers. And you can see her on the Guild stage as Anna in The King & I. Besides being an actress, director and editor, Jen's a grade school speech therapist, mom to Ryan, age 3, and wife of Nathan, another active Guilder.
Thanks, Jen (and Nathan and Ryan) for all you do for Quad City Music Guild.
Sincerely,
Jerry Taylor
