rainbow.jpg My dear friend Matthew Alvin Brown made a movie. It’s called Rainbow Around the Sun and it is an amazing rock opera made right here in Oklahoma. The film is the kick off film for the upcoming Dead Center Film Festival. I have seen it and it is incredible. I’ve listened to the album of the same name at least fifty times all the way through. The album is a well crafted diverse audio journey unlike any rock album I’ve heard.

On Saturday May 17th at Lyric at the Plaza in OKC at 7pm Matthew Alvin Brown, rock group The Fellowship Students and the cast of the film will perform a live reading of an incarnation of the film written by writer/director Kevin Ely and Matthew Brown. This performance is a one night only special event featuring the original cast as well as performances of the songs from the soundtrack. This promises to be a wonderful night of music from a wonderful movie by wonderful people.

How much does an event like this cost a human being? Nothing. All you need to do is call 405 524-9312 and reserve your tickets. Donations will be accepted. Come out for this very special, one night only performance. Meet the cast. Have them autograph stuff. Most importantly you’d be supporting a local production and having more fun than one should have on a Saturday night. When’s the last time the cast of any movie put on a show for you? Never?! Well now they have.

Don’t ever tell me there’s nothing to do in OKC again. Besides, I’ll be there and what more do you need?
