Directed by Tim Campbell, the family-friendly show, written by Fern McMillan, features area artists singing selections from a wide range of musical genres: opera and operetta to more popular, familiar songs, in Northwest Opera style.

The shows are geared to attract a wide-ranging audience, from opera buffs to those who are 'scared' by the 'O'-word. This is not your mother's opera company: smart, witty scripts (often original) and music (chosen to show off the level of talent of the performer, from opera, operetta to Broadway to movies) are ably directed by Tim Campbell, no stranger to the stage or opera direction.

This is the 8th production of the company which was formed in 2011 under the auspices of Holy Names Music Center.
