“Bandstand”

Music by Richard Oberacker
Book and Lyrics by Robert Taylor and Richard Oberacker

Finding salvation in a song – a powerful story of music, survival, and the unbreakable bonds forged in battle that will move you to tears and lift your spirit with its authentic 1940s big band sound!

THE STORY:

Set in 1947, “Bandstand” follows Donny Novitski, a war veteran and talented musician who dreams of winning a national swing band competition with his fellow veterans. Haunted by the horrors of war and struggling to reintegrate into civilian life, Donny and his band members find that coming home is more challenging than they ever imagined. When singer Julia Trojan, a war widow seeking answers to her own painful questions, joins the group, their music becomes a path toward healing and hope. As they compete for fame and recognition, these survivors must confront their demons, support each other through invisible wounds, and discover that the greatest battles are sometimes the ones fought after the war ends. Through soaring melodies and heart-wrenching honesty, “Bandstand” is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the redemptive power of music.
