C .R.O.W. Announces Open Au- ditions For "Disney’s Tarzan,” to be performed at the Florence Events Center in April of 2018. Washed up on the shores of West Africa, an infant boy is taken in and raised by gorillas who name him "Tarzan." Apart from striving for acceptance from his ape father, Tar- zan's life is mostly monkey business until a human expedition treks into his tribe's territory, and he encoun- ters creatures like himself for the fi rst time. Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion, as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts. Th e musical is based on the Disney cartoon by the same name. C.R.O.W. (Children’s Repertory of OR workshops) proudly announces open auditions January 8th and 9th. Based on Disney's epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes, Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend, Phil Collins, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang. High-fl ying excitement and hits, like the Academy Award winning "You'll Be in My Heart," as well as "Son of Man" and "Two Worlds," make Tarzan an unforgettable theatrical, musical experience. Th e show will be presented April 13th-15th at the Florence Events Center, and for invited school audi- ences on April 12th.

In 1947, an Associated Press poll declared him "the most admired man alive"- ahead of Jackie Robin- son, Pope Pius the XII and President Harry S. Truman. In 1948, Music Digest estimated that more than half of the 80,000 hours of recorded music broadcast on radio each week were fi lled with his recordings. In 1954, Decca Records declared that "the voice of Bing Crosby, has been heard by more people than the voice of any other human being who has ever lived.” By mid-century, the crooner's voice, face and personality were indeed seemingly everywhere. Jesse Cloninger and Th e Jazz Kings pay tribute to Crosby with a choice selection of the best from his long career. $25 tickets for adults are available now for the Florence performance from the box offi ce at 541-997- 1994 or online at www.eventcenter. org.
