True Image Theater will present its 7th annual summer musical, “The Melody Within”, August 5-7, at Sts. Peter and Paul School Gymnasium.  It is the story of Rigoletto, an Elven Prince, who is ambushed on the night before his wedding to Princess Gabriella.  He is scarred and banished to the world of men in the depression era, USA.  He sees he has the gift of music to offer men, but must find one with a pure heart to break his curse.  He must learn to let go of his anger and bitterness by helping others.  The town where he settles in Colorado is a small farming town, riddled with hardship and poverty.  As the townsfolk struggle through life, they begin to see amazing things bless their town.  Bonnie, a young school teacher, truly learns her gift of music and helps Rigoletto on his path.  This play is infused with the whole spectrum of emotions and life situations.  Local actors play young and old characters:  funny, sad, inspiring, comical, religious, greedy, selfish, and selfless. There’s something for everyone!  Live, professional musicians are coming from Coeur d’Alene to accompany three of the songs that will be performed.  There’s singing, dancing, sword fighting, jokes, and just a really high end, experienced cast.  We would be honored to have you come!  Performances will be:  Friday August 5, 6:30 pm;  Saturday August 6, 6:45 pm;  Sunday August 7, 1:00 pm; and Sunday August 7, 5:00 pm, all at Sts. Peter and Paul Gymnasium in Grangeville, ID.  Admission is free, concessions will be available for sale.  Donations are welcomed. Click on the photo for a larger view.
