BAND GEEKS! runs May 31-June 17

TRIPTYCH by Kaye Carlile.

BAND GEEKS!
Presented by Human Race Theatre Company
May 31-June 17
Dayton

Reviews: Talkin’ Broadway | Dayton City Paper | Dayton Most Metro |

A new musical. The Cuyahoga Marching Beavers are 75 trombones short of a Music Man, and there’s only one cornet left, but while the band may be close to extinction, its spirit isn’t. BAND GEEKS! is a rousing Glee with instruments, a tribute to the tribulations of the millions who have spent football halftimes pounding out Sousa-like renditions of “Maria.” If you were ever in a school band, ever knew someone in a school band, even ever heard a school band, you’ll recognize the woes and revel in the fun of Band Geeks!
