A Note from the Director

L et us take you back to the 1930’s where a young girl leaves home to go to the Big Apple to become a dancer in a Broadway show. The leading lady has an accident and the young girl must take her place on Opening Night. A dream? YES. A heavy plot? NO. Amazing music and musical numbers? YES. And pure entertainment? YES. This is the kind of show that wants the audience to sit back and relax and join us on this nostalgic journey when life was a bit more carefree and simple.

Sincerely, —Bill Starr

In MeMorIaMDawn Meidinger6/29/36–8/25/18

In August, WVLO lost one of its most valued subscribers and volunteers for she had been with this organization since the early 1970’s. Dawn was a wonderful cook and was responsible for catering our Opening Night’s delicious dishes for many of those early years. She and her husband, Richard, also managed the lobby concession stand for several years. Dawn had a lovely voice and performed in seven of our shows from 1968 through 1980, and not only made her own costumes, but helped the costumers dress other cast members. She was always ready and eager to volunteer for whatever task needed to be done and she will be greatly missed. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family and if you would like to make a donation in her honor to one of her charities, her favorites were Make-a-Wish and Second Harvest Food Bank.

HELP US “GET THE WORD OUT”—If you participate in Facebook, please spread the word about our musical productions. “Like us” on Facebook (we already have a page there for WVLO) so we invite you to become a partner with us in publicizing our musicals and encouraging others to attend.

Let’s work together to fill this theater. The performers who share their time and talent deserve a full theater of enthusiastic patrons.

Not all musicians will play for each performance.

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHTMarty McHan began his WVLO orchestra debut in 1976 in our production of “Sweethearts” and this show will be his 66th with us. The instruments you will see him play could be tenor saxophone, clarinet, oboe or English horn. He has played “42nd Street” six times and this will be his 8th show with Bobbie Howe as Music Director. He has also played 46 shows with her in an orchestra pit. He has played throughout the Bay Area and this marks his 210th

show overall, with 113 of them in this theater! He taught History and German in the SCUSD for 36 years and has been married for 53 years to a wonderful woman who spent 43 of those years patiently allowing him to be gone for over 4,000 nights of rehearsals and shows! They have a son and a daughter and he hopes to become a “grandpa” by the end of this show. Marty says his prized treasure is an Outstanding Musician Award he received from WVLO in 2004. Our casts and crews always love his commitment to our shows because he bakes them special cookies during the run! We are always happy to have him in our orchestra, whether in the pit or on stage! Thanks, Marty, for being such a dedicated and faithful musician to Community Theater.
