Another example: “Cry Me a River” is known as a torch song, a ballad. In this show, a trombone player and singer in a relationship com- municate through this tune, with the musician mimicking the melody to sound like cry- ing. “It ends up being a little lovers’ quarrel, a comedic one,” Gill said.

or only on singing. He was drawn by the RCTC show’s combination of singing and dancing, which would fur- ther help him hone his return to the stage.
“Literally, it’s really about getting back into the swing of things,” Salas said, with a grin.
He described his char- acter as the “one who wants to have fun. I’m very flirta- tious. I’m always on the go, trying to get the next girl in the show.”
This is Salas’ first expe- rience with RCTC and the Reedley Opera House. “I’ve never seen a show here, but I’d heard about this place and how they put on some pretty good productions,” he said.
