DeKALB - On Sept. 30, Just Make It Happen Productions will present the first performance of its 2005-2006 performing arts series.

"The Gavin Wilson Show - As Time Goes By," an original narrative musical written by local resident Gavin Wilson, will pay homage to the classic style of Frank Sinatra and was inspired by the classic film "Casablanca."

The play features a storyline about a man finding a book of music left behind by his recently deceased grandfather.

The book is discovered to hold the key to a family secret. Wilson acts as the narrator through the performance.

In addition, Wilson, who has a degree in music composition, rearranged special compositions, which he will perform with his father, a professional musician.

The show will also incorporate a jazz trio and a string quartet. While the story revolves around music, the play will include singing and dancing.

The Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St., will host this performance at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 30.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and are on sale at the Hillside Restaurant, next to the Egyptian Theatre.

All proceeds will be donated to fund the Egyptian Theatre Operations Fund.
