Operation Spotlight, The Musical tells the story of Arvin Story (aka Vinnie the Keys), an accomplished piano player, who is part of the Black enlisted 966th Quartermaster Platoon at Victorville Army Airfield during WW II. When he meets Margaret Bayley, the niece of noted community organizer Imogene Garner Hook, romantic and forbidden sparks fly. Filled with the music of the Big Band era, and based on the history of the building of the Victorville USO Club in 1941, this toe-tapping musical will bring many local High Desert personalities off the pages of history and into your hearts.

All Auditions will take place at A Dancer’s Pointe, 18355 Hwy. 18, in Apple Valley.

Tentative show dates are December 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 2022
