He treasured his collaborations with fellow artists including Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, The Carpenters, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross and Neil Diamond. Some of his timeless gems include “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head,” “I Say A Little Prayer,” “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” Walk On By” and “That’s What Friends Are For.” This original musical revue showcases songs written by Burt Bacharach from the 50s through the 80s, performed by a talented cast of 8 singers and musicians.

The STAR Program and Image Surgical Arts present Meredith Wilson's The Music Man Kids

The STAR program (ages 7-14) classes at College Grove, the Franklin Rec Center, and the Enrichment Center in Franklin and Image Surgical Arts present The Music Man Kids, based on Meredith Willson’s six-time-Tony-Award-winning musical comedy. The Music Man KIDS features some of musical theatre’s most iconic songs and a story filled with wit, warmth and good old-fashioned romance. Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he’s got “seventy-six trombones” in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure? The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

We know that our kids can get overstimulated and the majority of the time when we slow down, turn the outside noise off and get a drink of water we can help them settle and continue on. Sometimes we need the exact same thing to reset our nervous system.
We invite you to do just that with us every second Wednesday of the month. Robin Barnes with Sounds for the Soul will create a peaceful sound immersion where you will allow the sound vibrations to wash over you and reset your frazzled nervous system. You will be eased into the experience with guided breath. So drop your kiddos off at school, invite a friend to join you and make your way to our welcoming space.
When you arrive, you will enjoy a complimentary drink.
This is the perfect Mama’s Reset to fill up your cup.
