Oh my, we just had the loveliest dress rehearsal. Can we just keep singing together? Just a while longer? I watch the story unfold every rehearsal, and get emotionally involved. Will Jacob pine away while Veronica seems to not notice him at all? Will Veronica gather up the courage and speak out about her feelings before it's too late? Will the crops come back? Will Dad ever stop aching for his missing son? Will the crafty band promoter come through for Luke and his talented, hopeful band? The power is on, the make-up is on, the cast and crew are definitely "on". "Hey everybody, let's put on a show!"

About Me
- Name: My Green Eyes Green Room
Hi, this is Randy Baker. I am really excited at all of the fuss going on around putting up on a full length production of my rock opera "My Green Eyes"! I know it is helping others make their dreams come true as well - people who actually want to be in musical theater productions singing, dancing, etc (not me!). Ever since I was a kid I wanted to write a rock opera. I saw "Jesus Christ Superstar" and thought - "I could do that!". Well, it is easier said than done. I started working on my first rock opera in high school, but only wrote about 3 or 4 songs, then quit. Anyhow, right out of college I ran away with my song-writing partner, Rick L. Moody, to start a rock and roll band in CA. I was a writer, singer and guitarist (in that order). When I told Rick I wanted to write a rock opera, his reply was "Why?". What do you do then, after you have written it? Well, without the Judson Community, it would have been really, really unlikely that I would ever have tried to put on a production of it. So thank you, thank you, thank you Judson folks!
