Little Theatre Adventure -- Music Man -- Elaine Fournier

You'll enjoy a matinee performance of SLO Little Theatre's production of Music Man, followed by a talkback - led by longtime SLO Little Theatre actor and volunteer, Elaine Fournier.

The Play: An affectionate paean to Smalltown, U.S.A. of a bygone era, Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN follows fasttalking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize - this despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall.

The talkback: A talkback is a post-show informal conversation with members of the play's theatrical team. Led by long-time SLO Little Theatre contributor Elaine Fournier, this is a chance to learn about acting, set design, choreography, musical direction and lighting direction. You may ask any questions about the show or artistic process and gain more of an insight into how the theater works.

Elaine Fournier has a Master's in English with a dramatic literature emphasis. She taught theatre appreciation, acting, dramatic literature and film at Cuesta College, and taught English composition at Cal Poly and Hancock College.

Elaine has also been with SLO Little Theatre since she was 15 years-old and was a dancer in Oklahoma! at the Madonna Inn. She moved through the ranks to become a choreographer, an actor and a director. She has been on the Board of the Little Theatre in the past. Currently she serves on the Board's Artistic Advisory Committee that chooses the plays for the season. She is also a Lifetime Member, an honorific for years of service.
