ABOUT THE PLAY The plot of The Student Prince is a simple one: Boy leaves a cloistered home for school. Boy meets girl. Boy is forced to leave girl. Boy... well, you'll see how it ends soon enough. What makes the play, operetta, really, unique and beloved, is its music, and the uncanny ability of the music to catch the spirit and emotions of an era long past and make them live again. How did this come to happen? Sigmund Romberg was born in Hungary in 1887, studied music in Vienna when the' world lived for Viennese music, and then moved to New York in 1911. By 1924 he had written the music for 32 shows, none of them memorable. But then, with his father critically ill and himself about to be married, he felt a complusion to prove that he was a composer of merit. He borrowed material from his own background in Europe: his student days, his own devoted mentor, his brief affair with a barmaid, and his family ties with the aristocracy, and wove them into a lush musical tapestry. It was a peak he would never duplicate despite his efforts through 33 more musical scores. Enough history. Sit back and let the music sweep you into the past. The present

will return all too soon. _ Ri ••.•J( 1=111 RICK RUDY, Director Rick Rudy has directed shows for a great many theatrical groups in the Valley area, including "Yeoman of the Guard", "The Gondoliers" and "Trial By Jury" for the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of San Jose. He received his training in Stage Directing at the famous A.C.T. workshop of San Francisco and he studied Choral Conducting at Canada College. He has also appeared in leading roles in many muslcas, including "Camelot" in which he played King Arthur.

WANDA SAXTON, Music Director A favorite with theatre patrons everywhere in the Valley area, Wanda has played for more than forty musical productions. As Music Director her credits include W.V.L.O.A.'s production of "Flower Drum Song" which was the recipient of an "Erma Award". The possessor of a beautiful singing voice, Wanda has appeared on stage, and has sung on radio. She is the owner of the Saxton School of Music.

JUDY MECUM, Costumer Judy began working in Community Theatre in 1975 sewing costumes for Gilbert & Sullivan's "Mikado". Two shows later, she was designing costumes for G & S. In order to learn some of the professional tricks of designing, she returned to college and earned a BA in creative arts at San Jose State University, working on theatre productions at San Jose City College and SJSU along the way. She has since worked with Community Players, EI Camino Opera and her West Valley Light Opera productions of "Good News" and "Kiss Me, Kate" were outstand- ing. She can always count on help from husband, Hugh, and daughter, Jennifer. An accomplished enamelist and pewtersmith, she is presently learning goldsmithing while working in two local jewelry stores. ROBIN TAYLOR (Prince) Robin makes his debut with West Valley Light Opera with an impressive background and education. He earned a BA in Music & Theater from Juilliard School of Music and a BS in Computer Science from San Diego State. H is first Bay Area appearance was in "Madame Butterfly" but he has 8 other operas to his credit. Robin's major ambition is to sing all of the lyric tenor repetoire and while he's accomplishing that, he works as a programmer/analyst for Hewlett ~ Packard.

CATHERINE EDGERTON (Kathie) Lovely Catherine received her musical training at the Opera Department of San Jose State University and has a BA in Music and Voice. She has appeared many times with the San Jose Community Opera Theatre, in leading roles including such operas as "La Cantarina" by Hayden and she also sang the lead in the premiere performance of Henderson's "Last Leaf". She has appeared as soloist with the Santa Cruz County Symphony and with the San Jose State University Concert Choir.

LARRY SHETTERLY (Doctor Engel) Larry has appeared in over 25 Bay Area musical productions, including most of the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire. A Supervisor for Stanford Telecommunications, Larry came with his Family to the Bay Area and says that for them the rainbow they followed ended in Santa Clara County. The good luck was also with the local audiences who now enjoy Larry's golden voice.

DAVID MICHAEL TUTTELMAN (Lutz) David brings his theatrical training to our stage from UC Davis, where he earned his JD Degree, and from San Jose State University. His first Stage appearance was at UC Davis in "Jesus Christ Superstar" and has since added Dromio of Syracuse in "Boys From Syracuse", Abel Drugger in "The Alchemist" and Bishop Lampton in "The Ruling Class". A single attorney, David came to the Bay Area in 1979 with a career ambition to "keep paying his bills". His hobbies include athletics and of course, dance and voice. KEVIN H. JASPER (Detlef) Kevin has appeared locally in many featured roles in Musicals including Marcellus in "Music Man" and Enoch Snow in "Carousel". Off stage, Kevin is a development Engineer for Hewlett-Packard. He lists his hobbies as reading Philosophy and also as you might guess ... Listening to Music! Kevin has just been admitted to the MBA program at the University of Santa Clara and will be attending as a part-time student.

ELISBETH CHALLENER (Princess) Elisbeth, the lovely princess of our production of the "Student Prince", has a B.F.A. in musical theatre and Drama from the Boston Conservatory of Music. She has appeared in leading roles in many musicals, including playing Eliza in "My Fair Lady" and" Hodel" in "Fiddler On the Roof". She is the administrative Director of the San Francisco Boy's Chorus and has appeared as a Caberet Company member of a professional Theatre group. A newcomer to the West Coast, we all join in welcoming Elisbeth to the Valley area.

BRIAN SANKER (Tarnitz) Local audiences will remember Brian for his appearances with the Gas Lighter Theatre. He has also appeared with S.J.C.L.O. in such shows as "Paint Your Wagon" in which he played the lead. Brian has a BA in English, with a minor in Theatre. Off stage his profession is that of a Claims Adjuster for the Trans America Corporation.

LES DALE (Von Mark) Les' last appearance with WVLO was in "Pajama Game" as Pops, but since his debut in "Gypsy" just a few short years ago, he has accumulated a long list of impressive credits including Mr. Lundie in our "Brigadoon" and in supporting roles in local productions of "Stalag 17", "I nherit The Wind", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and many others. His wife Betty is an avid supporter as evidenced by her participation as Stage Manager. Maybe she finds this is the only way to 'manage' her husband!
