Kids Musical Theater Performance-Family Fun Day
July 29, Saturday 1pm – Pay What You Can Musical Theater campers, directed by Mary Bastoni-Rebmann, will perform their piece. THE POINT, a fairy tale that resonates, now more than ever for both child and adult. Harry Nilsson, brilliant and tender commentary on society that has long-lasting poignancy. The 52-year-old concept album was of its time and hard-hitting today. The play is about the importance of differences and how THAT is what makes for a healthy community, society, work-place, etc. “Me and My Arrow” and “Think About Your Troubles” are popular songs from the concept album, The Point! Scott Simon of NPR interviewed Harry Nilsson’s son Kiefo and actor Mike Lookinland about a newly released animated film of Harry Nilsson’s concept album, which is a must hear.
The story is of the round-headed Oblio who has had to wear a pointed hat since birth to conceal his “pointless” condition from his pointy-headed peers. However, Oblio is accepted in the town despite his nonconformity, until one day, when the son of an evil count is unwittingly dishonored by Oblio. The count’s son challenges Oblio to a one-on-one game of Triangle Toss, where participants catch triangles on their heads. Oblio wins with the help of his dog Arrow. In a fit of rage, the count, who wants his son to rule the land one day, confronts the good-hearted but timid king to reaffirm the law of the land, which states that those who are pointless must be banished from the kingdom and into the Pointless. Forest. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Point!).
