Bandstand

Van Wert

"Bandstand" tells the story of musician Donny Novitski, who is about to take on the mission of his life: leading his band of fellow veterans into competition for America's next swing band sensation. However, complicated relationships, the demands of competition and the challenging after-effects of war may break these musicians. This original score is strongly influenced by authentic 1940s swing music, much of which is played onstage by the characters and band members.
