This month three years ago the Stangl Family came to Tesco Productions to begin recording “Telling His Story”. The following year in September they were honored by the National Traditional Country Music Association to receive Vintage Gospel CD of the Year for that release. Well time keeps moving on and the “little” kids aren’t so little anymore, and before everyone moves on to other stages of their lives the Stangls wanted to lay down another record of their musical life together. So in three sessions the songs are recorded, and in a couple of months we’re planning to get at the work of putting it all together.
Oh, in the meantime I’ve heard from the Kopsa Family and they want to record their third CD here. Is there some connection between the two?

For the past number of months One For All Musical Theater has been recording songs, creating videos, rehearsing and otherwise preparing for their next presentation – Esther. This musical is taken from an account in the Old Testament of a young Jewish woman that God placed strategically to save the nation of Israel from a plan of destruction.
Tesco Productions has been involved alongside Kim Moore, the Executive Director, in the music production and just finished five music pieces which are the soundtracks for corresponding videos. These music videos comprise the majority of a pre-show presentation. There are instrumental renditions all the way to complex vocal pieces represented. Dave Schellenberg of dBm Production Services, LLC is compiling the videos and opening graphic animation. On the heals of finishing the audio I worked with Kim to create the print graphics for the DVD being made of these videos, and also for last year’s Cinderella video which will be available at their shows.
One For All Musical Theater incorporates performers, instrumentalists, technicians, directors, staff and many others from age 3 through college aged and some adults, providing opportunities of all aspects of the Fine Arts through the quality musical theater experience. They are a faith-based, 501(c).3, non-profit organization and are giving many the opportunity to tell compelling stories that always have more to say than the words or drama. The performances of Esther begin Thursday evening March 7th and conclude with a Sunday matinee on the 10th. Go to the above link for tickets. I plan on being at the Salvation Army Kroc Center with a friend and am confident it will be another fine presentation.
