Hermione, Nickie, Rosie, Helene, Hostesses, Ensemble SCENE 11: THE PARK ANNIE YARBROUGH - Charity Our delightful Charity has made theater her life since the age of eight when she started taking dancing lessons. She has performed with virtually all of the groups in Santa Clara Valley, including Santa Clara Junior Theater, Ballet San Jose, Sunnyvale Community Players, Saratoga Drama Group, San Jose Civic Light Opera, Foothill College, Santa Clara University, and San Jose State where she is a Theater Arts Major. Versatile Annie is as much at home in the costume of a Dickens era Christmas caroller, Ermengarde, in "Hello, Doily", or dance hall hostess Charity. We are fortunate that Annie could find time in her busy schedule between school, work as a receptionist at Santa Clara University, and choreographing West Side Story for Leigh High School, to perform the leading role in this porduction. Annie hopes to be working in summer stock this year at the Barn Theater in Michigan.

CINDy CUTLER - Helene A new-comer to West Valley Light Opera, Cindy's credits include the roles of Rosie in "Sweet Charity" and- Gymnasia in "Forum" for Theater Spectrum; Ramona in "" for Menlo Players Guild; the Mute in "The Fantasticks" for Palo Alto Players and her most challenging role of a horse in the West Coast premiere of "Strider" for Theatreworks in Palo Alto. We'll have to find out more about that one. Cindy's talents include choreographing "Music Man" for A Theatre Spectrum and costuming "The Fantasticks" for Palo Alto Players. In the real world, Cindy is a professional make-up artist and she lifts weights i~ her spare time. She confides that she is looking for the perfect man ...and is taking phone numbers. Good luck, Cindy!

LESLIE LANE - Nickie Another first time performer with West Valley Light Opera, leslie comes to us with a strong theatrical background. She received her BA in Theatre at Long Beach State University and a "good fifteen years" of experience in musical comedy. Her favorite roles were Louisa in "The Fantasticks", Luce in "The Boys From Syracuse", Marta in "Company", and Adelaide in "". Leslie has also appeared in "The Desert Song", "Roar of the Greasepaint ...", "Sweet Charity", "No No, Nanette" and in the "Stowaways" aboard the Queen Mary in long Beach harbor. In her spare time, leslie enjoys pounding on her computer and pretending to jog. Leslie gives thanks to WVLO "for getting past my 13th musical", and we thank leslie for joining us.

BILL WILKINSON - Oscar Bill, a resident of Almaden Valley, is back with West Valley Light" Opera, having previously performed with us as Gaylord Ravenal in "Showboat", and as one of the ensemble in "Some Enchanted Evening". He has also been seen as Herr Zeller in "Sound of Music" for Sunnyvale Community Players and in "Carousel" for Saratoga Drama Group. Bill's credits also list that of soloist for the Santa Clara Chorale, and . the San Jose Symphonic Band. Bill attended the University of Minnesota earning his degree in Economics, which has served him in good stead as a registered investment counsellor and financial planner. Between shows, Bill's hobbies of studying the stock market, music, golf, reading, tennis, and skiing keep him a busy man. LES DALE - Vittorio Vidal Our ever popular les is back with us again in the dual capacity of "leading man" and set designer. As Vidal, les is enjoying the development of a character quite different from his previous roles. Among his growing credits, he lists Wild Bill Hickok in "Annie Get Your Gun" with the Menlo Players Guild and Father in "life With Father" for Sunnyvale Conunun[ty Players. les has appeared in "The Student Prince", "wonderful Town", "Man of la Mancha", "My Fair lady", and as FDR in "Annie", Captain Andy in "Showboat", and Sir Osgood Fielding in "Sugar", all for WVlOA. We have daughter Julie, a member of our ensemble, to thank for exposing this talented performer to the wonderful world of theater. In fact, the Dales are making this production a family affair, with better-half (7), Elizabeth, as our Stage Manager.

TAMMY NELSON - Hermione A preview performance of "Some Enchanted Evening", where a timid Tammy asked about auditions, was a lucky break for her and for WVlO, and Santa Clara Valley theater-goers. She auditioned and was instantly cast as Sweet Sue in "Sugar". Since then Tammy has been performing "non-stop"and has enjoyed every minute. She has appeared in "My Fair lady", "Dames At Sea", and "Irene" for WVlO, "Cinderella" with Saratoga Drama Group, and as Widow Courney in "Oliver" for San Jose Civic light Opera. Tammy has finally figured out how to "stymie" her nerves long enough to audition, but is still trying to learn when and how to rest. Since she enjoys theater, the people and the experience, we know she will accomplish her goal. We certainly hope she does and will keep returning to do more shows for us.

MICHELLE JENEE - Ursala A native of San Jose, Michelle has been acting since the age of two, or so her mother claims. Actually, Michelle's earliest recollection of performing was in second grade, at the tender age of eight, when she was in a school production of "Pinocchio" - on roller skates. She has come a long way since then, having played a multitude of roles at Cal State Hayward, San Jose State, the Pleasanton Playhouse, Hayward little Theater and the Sunol Cabaret Theater. She has performed in "Grease", "Canterbury Tales", "", "", "Family Ties", "", and "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum". According to Michelle, a great change took place in her life four months ago. She got married. We wish her well, in marriage and her theatrical career.

ROBERT GRISWOLD - Daddy Johann Sebastian Brubeck Bearded Bob first performed with WVlO in the 1%5 production of "Oklahoma". Since that . first season, he has been on stage in five of our musicals. Bob has appeared at the Carrai~e House Theater in Villa Montalvo (minus the beard) as Klinger, in' M*A*S*H", and has also performed with the Community Players and Sunnyvale Community Theater. In addition, he has filled the position of Stage Manager for Theater West at Old Town in Los Gatos, and directed "Some Enchanted Evening" for WVlO, "Die Fledermaus" for EI Camino Opera, "Sunday In New York" for the Community Players and Theater West, and had directed melodramas for the V.A.l. league and the Overtures, WVlO's touring group. Bob has also lent. his talents to television and film productions. Q'le of his latest endeavors has been participating in mystery week-ends for Whodunnit Productions, which is probably why he is an expert (7) playing the video game of Clue. CIYA CHALLIS - Director/Choreographer Involvement in "Sweet Charity" has brought back many memories for Ciya. who was in the chorus in the original Broadway production with as Charity and then with Juliet Prowse in the title role when the show opened in Las Vegas. These memories have helped Ciya develop some of the Bob choreography for this production. Ciya originally hails from where she studied ballet and began her professional theatrical career. She performed in New York and on national tours with Sid Ceasar, Donald O'Connor, Martin Green, Ray Walston, Liza Minelli, Robert Weede, Molly Picon and . Ciya also adds commercials and television performances on the major networks to her credits. Together with husband Bill Starr, Ciya has worked on many industrial shows. A resident of Menlo Park, Ciya enjoys family life with Bill and their 'nice to be around' children, Billy and Krista.

BILL STARR - Director/Choreographer We are pleased to have Bill back with us this season. A native of San Francisco.. Bill spread his wings and landed on Broadway where he had the opportunity to work with some of the finest talents in theater, such as Hal Prince, Josh Logan, , Michael Bennett, and Tommy Tune. Bill has also worked in other theatrical endeavors with Gene Kelly, Ann-Margaret and Tony Bennett in various capacities as choreographer, performer and assistant director. He has designed, directed, choreographed and performed in industrial shows, all over the world, for some of the largest corporations. Locally, Bill has directed "Lil Abner" for San Jose Childrens Musical Theater and "Annie, Get Your Gun" for Menlo Players Guild as well as "Dames At Sea" last season, for WVLO. It is a pleasure to watch Bill at work with his wife, Ciya, as they bring script, score and performers together into a production of professional quality,

WANDA SAXTON - Musical/Choral Director Once again at the helm, with baton in hand, we are fortunate in having Wanda direct our orchestra and also do a fine job with preparing our performers to vocalize for you. Always a pleasure to work with, Wanda has a knack for getting the most out of people with her encouraging good cheer. Among the musicals Wanda has done for WVLO are the memorable "Man of La Mancha", "Student Prince", "Flower Drum Song", "Annie", "Showboat", "Some Enchanted Evening", and "Dames At Sea". Wanda has also appeared on stage in "Hello, Dolly!" (twice), and "Music Man". In the work-a-day world, Wanda is employed at Talbot Tours, where she keeps travellers advised of the wonders of the world, and theater-goers of the wonders of WVLO. On the homefront, Grandma Wanda is getting ready to train two granddaughters, Kristin and Jessica, for the world of musical theater. PRODUCTION STAFF
