On May 15, The Harvey Middle School will stage “The Music Man,” one of Broadway’s best-loved musicals.

The hour long show will be performed by approximately 24 students at the school. Director and set designer Victor Whitehurst and musical director Kathy Cushman are coordinating the show, using a musical theater package known as The Broadway Junior Collection® from Music Theater International, a theater licensing company that helps schools adapt musicals specifically for young performers.

The collection contains a how-to guide for producing a Broadway show and also provides a condensed, author-approved version of the classic musical, in addition to an orchestral performance. Ms. Cushman said the components of the original musical are being preserved, yet the arrangements are transposed into keys appropriate for young voices, and that’s what makes the whole process so enjoyable, she said.

In their third game of the season the 1-1 Cavaliers dropped to Chase by a score of 11-8, falling to 1-2 on the season. Harvey was neck and neck with Chase during the first half, led by the offensive prowess of the starting attack: Pete Sorenson, Justin Edelstein and Eric Gins. Strong defensive performances by Jake Warshaw, Spencer Wiesner, and Greg Hennings kept the game tight at 3-3 moving into the second half. During the second half Chase pulled away despite an intense effort by Griffin Murray (31 saves) in goal. Harvey played some of their best lacrosse all season during the last two minutes earning a goal by Sam Lavin, assisted by Jamie Lunt, and a goal by Eric Gins. This strong offensive effort was shy of catching up to Chase’s lead. Leading offensive performers include Eric Gins (3 goals, 1 assist), Justin Edelstein (1 goal, 2 assists) and Pete Sorenson (2 goals).
