THE ORCHESTRA features Bergen Anderson*, Emily Demko, Steve Herson, Ryan David Heywood, Josiah Kumpost, Jim Poole and Tony St. Clair.
THE ORCHESTRA follows a group of has-been rockers who've been playing weddings for peanuts. But when a band-mates famous sister visits them at a gig - they see an opportunity for one fimnal push for fame. It's "Fargo meets This Is Spinal Tap" in a performance that has all of Finland abuzz - and that's saying something in a land where extroverted Finns look at your shoes when they talk!
