Dear Friends,
Welcome to Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story, the rock and roll musical about the life and times of a young performer who, by the tender age of 21, had already emerged onto the 1950s-era American music scene having written, recorded and produced the mega hit songs “That’ll Be the Day” and “Peggy Sue.”
His name was Charles Hardin Holley, a singer-songwriter-guitarist from Lubbock, Texas. Known popularly as Buddy Holly, he gained momentous fame in 1957 before dying in a plane crash just two years later alongside Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson ‘the Big Bopper,’ and the pilot. This event was immortalized in pop culture in Don McLean’s 1971 song “American Pie,” an ode to Holly’s life and the crash, or “the day the music died.” Holly was just 22 years old. The stage version of his life, Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story debuted on Broadway in 1990, having first opened in 1989 in London’s West End, where it ran for more than 12 years. This jukebox musical continues to be a favorite of audiences around the world.
I’d like to thank each and every one of you for being our most wonderful audience, and I look forward to seeing those of you who are Pittsburgh CLO Season Ticket Holders back for Disney’s The Lion King, presented by special arrangement with The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. I also hope to see everyone very soon at the CLO Cabaret, where we’re currently reprising the comedy Defending the Caveman. (Seriously, laughing just never gets old.) I also hope to see you throughout the year at one of our education and community outreach programs, Gallery of Heroes musical tours in local schools or at the CLO Academy, where our city’s young performers are busy honing their skills. And, a reminder: It’s not too early to get your tickets to our 22nd annual production of A Musical Christmas Carol, playing at the Byham Theater December 6-22.
Finally, I’d like to extend a very special thank you to our 24 interns who rolled up their sleeves to help us produce this action-packed summer. Most of them are returning to school, and my staff and I wish them well in their studies and hope they don’t forget us when they’re famous. Musical theater is a team sport that takes all the right people to pull off well. Whether you bought a ticket, showed patrons to their seats, teased a wig, moved a prop, played a horn, designed a brochure or took notes for a director, thank you for an incredibly rewarding 2013 season.
Enjoy the show!

High school musicals give many students their first taste of the world of musical theater, and some just can’t get enough once they’ve caught the theater bug. The nation’s top young performers were honored at the fifth annual National High School Musical Theater Awards (NHSMTA) on July 1 at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre in New York City. This program, a project of Pittsburgh CLO and the Broadway Education Alliance, aims to encourage students in the performing arts by providing unique access to the Broadway industry. This year, 62 high school students represented 31 regional awards programs from coast to coast.
The NHSMTA program began in 2009 and has been providing students with unforgettable experiences ever since. Aspiring performers from across the country gathered in the Big Apple for a week of group rehearsals and private coaching sessions with some of the musical theater industry’s leading professionals, including Michael McElroy, Liz Callaway, Schele Williams-Kleinberger, Telly Leung and Leslie Odom, Jr. These talented students also enjoyed a session with a casting agency and a night out in Times Square. They were also treated to a performance of Annie on Broadway, followed by a talkback with the cast. Spending a week alongside seasoned professionals and other passionate musical theater students gave these young hopefuls a unique opportunity to grow as artists.
The intensive week culminated in a live awards ceremony called The Jimmy™ Awards, named after 91 year-old Broadway producer James M. Nederlander.
The Tony Award®-nominated stars of Broadway’s Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, hosted this year’s show.
The 2013 Jimmy™ Awards were awarded to Sarah Lynn Marion from the John Raitt Awards for Youth and Taylor Varga from Connecticut High School Musical Theater Awards. Sarah and Taylor received a $10,000 scholarship from the Nederlander Organization toward their educations and are eligible for four-year merit and
need-based scholarship assistance to attend the New Studio on Broadway at NYU Tisch School of the Arts Department of Drama, contingent upon acceptance into the program. Five runners-up each received $2,500 scholarships to further their educations from the Barry and Fran Weissler Foundation. Awards were also presented for Best Performance in an Ensemble, Most Improved and the Spirit of the Jimmy Awards, and one student was chosen to attend Carnegie Mellon University’s 6-week Pre-College Drama program.
Pittsburgh CLO’s Gene Kelly Awards were represented at The
Jimmy™ Awards by Rachael Houser from Quaker Valley High School and Angelo Ragghianti from Pittsburgh School for the Creative and Performing Arts.

Nothing brings a stage production to life quite like a show’s set. It is essential to telling a story and setting the scene. Pittsburgh CLO’s Construction Center for the Arts is Pittsburgh’s very own professional set building facility, and has played an important role in creating the sets used for this production of Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story. Located in Springdale, PA, the Construction Center has created the scenery for productions across the country since 1974.
A team of professional designers, artists, carpenters and technical staff have been hard at work preparing for Pittsburgh CLO’s 2013 Summer Season. They built the impressive 1950s-inspired set you see here today, complete with everything from the elaborate network of microphones hanging from the recording studio ceiling to the brightly lit “Apollo” sign during Buddy’s famed performance at the Apollo Theater. It was all created right here in Pittsburgh.
The Construction Center has built the sets and scenery for Pittsburgh CLO shows like A Musical Christmas Carol and for CLO Cabaret shows such as Side by Side by Sondheim, as well as for local companies and events including KDKA-TV, the Three Rivers Arts Festival, the Carnegie Science Center and the National Aviary. In addition, the Construction Center stores and rents high-quality sets that give theater companies and schools the opportunity to use professional sets.
This unique facility has more than 68,000 square feet of storage and workspace that can accommodate productions of any size. Its convenient location close to downtown Pittsburgh makes it a prime building space for productions from across the country. The Center has built sets for National Tours including 9 to 5: The Musical and Disney’s High School Musical, concert tours for the Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson, and for
television and film productions.
The Construction Center is one of the largest and most cost efficient of its kind in the nation, playing an instrumental role in both local and national productions. The Center’s top-notch professionals work together each year to create the sets and scenery that ensure each show is one to remember.
