- Boise Music Week 2017 -Music - An Adventure for Life

Ninety-nine (99) years and counting! What a wonderful tradition of music to have in our community. Boise Music Week has been providing a marvelous week of music of all kinds for such a long time that we often forget who and what makes it possible. YOU! All the time, talent, and enjoyment would go unappreciated if generous people did not continue to support Music Week with their donations. Beginning with International Dance Night and ending with the production of this year’s musical Mary Poppins, our community, especially our youth, are showcased. We will have music and fun for everyone – School Night, Music in the Park, Church Night, All That’s Jazz, Organ Concerts, and Showcase. Rehearsals have been going strong since February and volunteers will be spending many, many hours preparing for the events. All of you help make this week possible and all for free of charge. No admission charges will be required at any of the events. Boise is a great city, made better by its strong support of the arts. We are indeed fortunate. In addition, we are already starting the planning process for next year - our 100th Celebration of Music Week! Wow, that is going to be exciting. In the meantime, enjoy Music Week 2017 by attending the events.

Roger Lingle, President, Boise Music Week

forever grateful ...Harry W.Morrison, co-founder of the Morrison Knudsen Construction Company, and his wife,Velma V. Morrison shared a love of music and Broadway theatre, and dreamed of building a performing arts center in their beloved Boise. The dream finally became reality in 1984, long after Harry’s passing in 1971. Velma, who had long been a Boise Music Week supporter, offered the use of the Morrison Center, for the highlight event, the Broadway Musical production, beginning in 1988. Since then thousands have had the thrill of performing on that stage and thousands more have enjoyed the productions. Everyone is invited, regardless of their ability to pay, to experience the grandeur of the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts, during Boise Music Week. Velma passed way in 2013. Boise Music Week remains forever grateful to Harry and Velma Morrison for their passion, foresight, determination and generosity, and now appreciates the wonderful opportunity to continue working with the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation to perpetuate their legacy in this community.

Synopsis

Bert, the chimney sweep and jack-of-all-trades, introduces us to 1910 England and the Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins shows up at their door. The family finds that she’s the answer to their prayers, but in the most peculiar way. Using magic and common sense she teaches the Banks’ how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical, memorable adventures but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grownups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything Can Happen if You Let it!”

Mary Poppins

Reilly Ramos - Jane Banks

Reilly is so thrilled to be playing Jane Banks in BMW production of Mary Poppins. Although Reilly has performed in other musicals before: Young Cossette(Les Mis-erables); Jemima Potts (Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang) and Mary Lennon(The Secret Garden), this will be her first performance with Boise Music Week. Reilly is

thrilled to be part of this long standing Boise tradition. Many thanks to Bonnie Salewski and Leigh Falconer who are the best Vocal and Music teachers anyone could ask for. Think-ing fondly of Linda Berg and the wonderful spark she ignited.

Ben Clegg - George Banks

Ben has his BA from BYU-Idaho, where he minored in musical theatre. He and his husband came to Boise in 2005 to perform summer stock theatre and relocated here shortly thereafter.

Christian Grey - Bert

After playing Bum #1 in Little Shop of Horrors, Borland in The Future Soon, Brad in The Rocky Horror Show, and Big S in Seven Santas, it has become clear that Christian can only be cast in roles whose names start with “B”. In an attempt to try something different, Christian recently auditioned for the role of Mary Poppins. The director unfortunately did not take to his idea of “Marty Poppins” as a new

interpretation of this classic. Alas, Christian is overjoyed to be starring in his newest “B” role and sharing the stage with so many talented people. He would like to thank his wife Katherine for her continued patience and support. “

Julie Thimmig – Winifred Banks

Julie is thrilled to make her Boise Music Week premiere! A Wisconsin native and now Meridian resident, Julie and her husband Andy (and cat Chickpea) moved to the area two years ago to pursue her dream job: high school theatre teacher. She teaches theatre and directs performances at Middleton High School and loves it. Julie has taught and performed all over the world and is glad to be involved in this beautiful story.

Sarah Howard - Mary Poppins

Boise nat ive Sarah Howard holds degrees in Musical Theatre Performance and English, and has performed professionally and academically in Idaho, Wyoming, and Virginia. She is working toward a career as a children’s author. Past favorite shows include Hamlet (Ophelia), Les Miserables (Cosette), Cinderella (Fairy Godmother), and The Music Man (Marian).

This past year we hosted over 1,000 students in the Morrison Center under the direction of the “godfather of a cappella’ Deke Sharon. A few years ago the chorus made a commitment to constant improvement of its vocal technique, musicianship, and overall presentation value. We love to sing exceptionally well and genuinely entertain. We are a close brotherhood, and we love depending upon each other to make the music that moves our community.

In Memoriam Kathy Lee Boise Music Week will long fondly remember choreographer Kathy Lee, who generously a n d c h e e r f u l l y contributed her time and talent over the past 15 years. Kathy owned the Kathy Lee School of Dance in Boise for over 24 years and enjoyed teaching and sharing her love of dance with thousands of students of all ages. Kathy choreographed eleven BMW Musical Theatre Productions such as The Wizard of Oz, Crazy for You, Beauty and the Beast, Singin’ in the Rain and most recently South Pacific in 2013. Kathy passed away unexpectedly in October, 2016. Kathy’s dancing shoes will be hard to fill…

Linda Eustice BergIn October 2015 Boise Music Week and our community lost a beloved friend, Linda Eustice Berg, who made such a huge difference in the lives of so many children and adults. For 30 years she worked with elementary school children in the valley and taught them to love music. She was the founder of Opera Idaho Children’s Chorus and was honored as Idaho Teacher of the Year in 2010. Not only did she teach and direct but she unselfishly volunteered her time to Boise Music Week as vocal director for many of our Broadway product ions. She loved musical theatre and demonstrated to everyone involved how sharing the gift of music brings joy to themselves and others.

Beth HoganAn outfit like Boise Music Week – run by volunteers – doesn’t last for 100 years because it attracts folks who don’t care to deal with problems, who don’t love music, and who don’t stick around. Rather, it attracts people like Beth Hogan. She certainly had a passion and talent for music, but she also had an appetite for the hard work required for building success. Beth joined Music Week in 1965 and never stopped sticking around. She never stopped being busy either. She was the board secretary decade after decade. She was an eager participant, had an agile mind, and jumped in whole-heartedly when someone said, “We have a situation.” Or, “We have a problem.” Or, “Crisis!” For all that, she had fix-it skills. Plus, she was a lovely person, loyal, kind, told great jokes, drove big cars, and was fun to be around.
