Welcome to Quad City Music Guild's 66th season. It's hard to believe it but time has flown by and we are now busy preparing for another great season of Broadway in the Park. Bill Marsoun and his staff are in rehearsal for our spring show "Willy Wonka" and we have completed the casting for our three summer shows, "Les Misérables", "Legally Blonde", and "Oklahoma". We top it off in December with our Holiday show "A 1940's Radio Christmas Carol". There will be more information on that one later on in the year. It certainly promises to be another fun-filled season.

Have you ordered your tickets yet? Now would be a good time to secure your seats for the year by ordering season tickets. You may choose from one of three different season ticket packages: Our Classic covers our three summer shows, the Fabulous includes any four shows, and our best deal is the Ultimate which includes all five productions of the year. You may also purchase gift certificates through our box office. They make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions.

Looking for an even better deal on your tickets? Why don't you consider contributing to our Membership/Patron program? There are several different levels of giving that are accompanied by discounts for ticket purchases. Not only do your dollars go to support our wonderful organization, but your gifts are tax deductible. You may download a Membership/Patron form from our website. Go to www.qcmusicguild.com and click on the link to Patron services. We thank you in advance.

As we approach this year's shows, it is important to remember that with every person appearing on stage there are many more needed off stage and behind the scenes to take care of things such as concessions, box office, parking, and on and on. It takes literally hundreds of people every year to keep our theater running so won't you please consider volunteering?   It is fun and rewarding.

Let's see, so far I have asked for ticket orders, volunteers and money. So what's left? The most important part; Thanking each person involved with the organization. As everyone knows, we spent the last six months building our new costume shop and scene workshop. The end result is something that we should all be very proud of and something that will serve us well going forward. But none of this would have happened if it weren't for all of you. I would once again like to acknowledge all of you who volunteered over this time period. To observe so many dedicated people sacrificing their time to pitch in and help has been gratifying to say the least.   It's that dedication that makes Quad City Music Guild so special and you should all be proud of yourselves. Thanks to each and every one of you for making this organization what it is. Now I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for Quad City Music Guild!

Sincerely,

Craig Woodard
