I had a great time this evening at the opening performance of Josh M!
It's a senior capstone project by actor/singer/dancer Josh Meredith, and serves as a recap of his life growing up in Huntington and his career as an actor in community theatre, as part of Marshall's Theatre Alliance, and his work as a professional actor.
It's a fast-paced, funny and personal show, loaded with great songs, some very funny stories and some genuinely touching moments. The band (led by my pal Mark Smith) is terrific, and the show includes guest performances by some of Josh's fellow students.
Even though Josh has at least one more show this spring before he moves on to bigger and better things, this is something of a farewell for him - but what a spectacular way to go!
I admit I'm prejudiced - Josh grew up performing in First Stage Theatre and was in several shows with my sons, and I've been fortunate enough to direct him in several shows. He's a talented young man and it's been a delight to watch him grow from a gifted kid to a genuine star!
You only have one more chance to catch the show - the last performance in Friday night at 7 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.
Highly, highly recommended!
