Whether it's a movie, book, or a musical, stories have enthralled billions of people for centuries. Now, in February, the Titan Theatre Group seeks to entertain Westminster with a story: “Big Fish,” to be performed in February 2026!The story follows a young man named Will whose father loved storytelling, but Will never felt the same way. Now a young adult entering the world, Will tries to understand the meaning of his father’s stories as well as discovering what kind of man and father he wants to be. While performing the musical brings joy to many in both the cast and audience, there is a lot of work behind the scenes that goes into bringing a musical to life. President of the Titan Theatre Group Kole Alcorn spoke about the difficulty of the process and the effort it takes to make a musical happen. “Chooising a musical is an extremely difficult process. There are a lot of factors you have to balance. The difficulty of the music, what kind of set needs to be created, if the musical is financially doable, if there is a lot of dancing and how difficult the dancing would be, how large the cast is, and you have to think about all of this in relation to the group of students you have interested,” Alcorn said. Even once the musical is chosen, a lot of work is still yet to be done. Details such as advertising, forming a cast, selecting dates, running auditions and getting funding are all essentials that make a musical run. The group of about 40 students, varying from the cast to tech, crew, and costumes positions, are dedicating a lot of time to the musical as well. “For a musical, 6-8 weeks of rehearsal is the typical amount of time to put in. During that time, you look at somewhere around 4-8 hours a week just being in rehearsals, depending on the role and what parts are called to rehearse,” Alcorn said. Many cast and crew members pour in countless more hours rehearsing and preparing individually to put on the best show possible. The Theatre Group is entirely student led, and while some roles are determined by audition, there is a place in the production for every student interested. “We have an amazing group of motivated students that are putting everything they have into creating a professional and wonderful performance,” Alcorn said. “The show is a heartfelt story with comedy and love that is something that everyone can enjoy!”The musical will take place in Beeghly Theatre right here at Westminster February 20-22 and February 27-28. </div></body>
