QUOTE - I can not tell you how excited I am to host this amazing Movie Musical Madness night every month at the Foundry!   I love movies!   Especially if they’re musicals!  As a kid growing up in Queens, New York I sat for hours in front of our SONY TV watching Ann Miller tap her way across our 13-inch screen and Gene Kelly bat his eyes at my 14 year-old-face.  And starting July 5th, every month at the Foundry I’ll pick a movie musical to salute.  I’ll be showing the BEST moments and numbers from the film, get audience members up on stage to act out a scene from the film, compete in a game show called I KNOW EVERYTHING, win prizes and, best-of-all, sing-a-long to the big numbers. Did I mention Ronnie Larsen will be serving pizza and wine? Oodles of wine to lubricate those vocal cords!   So come on down to the Foundry Theater, the first Monday of every month and take part in the madness that is Hollywood! - Charles Baran
