"The Point!" is Harry Nilsson's sixth studio album and debuted in 1970 It's a story of a young boy named Oblio who is born into the village of Point -- where everyone has a pointy head -- with a round head and he must always wear a pointy hat to hide his difference where they meet all sorts of characters and learn they "don't need to have a point to have a point." animator Fred Wolf produced a well-known TV version on ABC and many Gen-Xers and millennials are familiar with both that cartoon and the lead single "Me and My Arrow," which climbed to 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 That's Morey's personal favorite number in the show but he thinks the whole story is one that's applicable for adults and children alike "It has a great message about inclusivity and seeing the good in people that might not show," he says and it's an often overlooked album — especially for the time period and what a tremendous artist Harry Nilsson was." The animated version will be silently projected on screen at the Cinema Theater and the musicians will perform the songs and narrative throughout They've even curated a set and costumes to complement the film including a blue stuffed "Arrow" that Morey-Preston sewed by hand and pointy felted hats in a rainbow of colors for each cast member they're planning a special Harry Nilsson sing-along "People can just expect a really fun time," Morey-Preston says "It's gonna be lighthearted and we're gonna be singing great songs This fundraiser is the second in a series of four fundraisers planned between now and spring 2020 part of the same group of the Moreys' musician friends wrote an original score for "Nosferatu," which they performed in costume at the Cinema Theater on Oct "We're doing fundraising so that we can offer sliding-scale tuition and scholarships to people who might not otherwise have access," Morey-Preston says "and to help local musicians make a living through passing down their knowledge and passion to the next generation of Rochester musicians."
