Mel Romine Memorial Scholarship Fund and Performances
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda II: Disney Takes The Stage
$10. A benefit for the Mel Romine Memorial Scholarship
With the rousing success of our fundraiser Woulda,
Coulda, Shoulda: A Night of Musical Theatre, we are
bringing the revue back to The Renaissance Center stage
with a new twist: Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda II: Disney
Takes the Stage. All those Disney songs that you were the
wrong age to sing or the wrong sex to sing or the wrong
species to sing, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! Here's the
catch, all performers must sing in costume in keeping with
the spirit of the evening. All funds raised for the evening
go to the Mel Romine Memorial Scholarship fund. This is a
terrific alternative to traditional trick or treating. Bring the
whole family and sing along! Those who come in costume
will receive "treat" bags. Those who are interested in performing
contact Amy Scott at (615) 740-5551 or
amy.scott@rcenter.org. Deadline for participating parties
to confirm their performance pieces will be Oct. 10. More...

Mel was cast in the Renaissance Players production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in 2004 when he became ill and passed away.
