Th e O fficia l Dry C lea n e rs of M u sica lFa re Theatre!

I'd like to welcome and bless you for coming to our performance of ALTAR BOYZ.

I can't think of anything better to do than to have an altar-boy-band religiously rock it out for you and fill your spirit with divine laughter. Just think, this could possibly count as church for this week! Hey, maybe it could be a "get-out-of-mass-for-free" pass for this Sunday! (of course, check with your local clergyman first)

I personally feel ALTAR BOYZ is a celebration of all faiths. Yes, some of our "boyz" might seem like stereotypes, but I truly love the honesty and joy they bring to their "message". With the talents of Michael Walline, this ain't your mama's "So You Think You Can Dance" - his choreography is pure MTV genius. And, Jason Bravo's inspirational musical direction has helped us surpass any "American Idol" wan­nabes. Last but not least, how lucky are we to have "The Holy Trin­ity" of Talents...our 5 boyz are true triple threats, they sing, dance and act (and they ain't bad to look at either!)

So sit back, relax, laugh and enjoy...... "God Put The Rhythm" in us. Ihope we do the same for you!
