🎠Don’t Stop Believin’… in Big Hair and Bigger Dreams!
This episode of Acting Up with GTC is packed tighter than Tracy Turnblad’s hairspray can!
🎸 First, we sit down with Donovan Duke and Mike Cooper from Infinite Journey, one of the most beloved tribute bands to ever rock the Granbury Opera House stage. Hear how they channel the spirit (and sound!) of Journey with zero backing tracks and 100% heart.
🎤 Then, director Bentleigh Nesbitt drops by to dish about our upcoming summer musical Hairspray, the wild ride of choreographing chaos, and her bittersweet farewell as she heads to London for grad school. (Spoiler: It gets emotional. Like, “Faithfully” emotional.)
🎟️ Shows featured in this episode:
Pride & Prejudice – Final weekend!
Infinite Journey – May 30 & 31 (3 shows!)
Hairspray – June 6 to July 6
