A Message from the President.....
Thank you to the many volunteers and patrons who have come together to make the 2012 season at Quad City Music Guild a success.
But we're not finished yet!
In this edition of Overtones, you will find information about It's A Wonderful Life, our 2012 holiday show. There is information for those wanting to audition. There is also information for those who have not yet ordered tickets to this heartwarming classic. Tickets are bound to go fast, so don't left out in the proverbial cold. Order yours today.
And while you're purchasing your tickets, why not considering ordering your season tickets for the 2013 season? We are very excited about our slate of shows; Something's Afoot, Cabaret, Peter Pan, 9 to 5 and A Christmas Survival Guide. Our play selection committee put a great deal of time and energy into next years' season with not only Broadway classics, but contemporary shows in the mix. And there might even be a surprise or two in some of these lesser known theatrical gems.
We are also in the process of putting together directing teams for next seasons shows. Have you ever considered being a director, choreographer, accompanist? Maybe you have an artistic talent you would like to express through set or costume design. Staff applications can be found on our website at www.qcmusicguild.com, but don't hesitate. The deadline is approaching rapidly.
This past year Music Guild has been blessed by several theater "angels;" people who thought so highly of us that we were remembered in their wills after their passing. To those people and their families, we thank them for their generosity. Those memorials will help to see that Quad City Music Guild continues as a vibrant member of the Quad City arts community for years to come.
Why not consider becoming a lasting donor? We would be happy to discuss with you our Endowment plan and how you wish to be remembered. You may personally designate how your gift can be used in any or all facet of QCMG. We are also recognized as a non-profit charitable organization.
We look forward to having you join us for the last show of our 64th season. Then it's on to our 65th, the next of many seasons of "Broadway in the Park" to come.
Bob Williams

Based on the classic Frank Capra film, "It's a Wonderful Life" follows the story of George Bailey.
