[email protected] A Note From Our Director, Kathy Burch

"Hello, Dolly!" is one of the most enduring and popular of all Ameri- can musicals. The proof is in the fact that it's probably being performed everyday somewhere in the world. "Hello, Dolly!" is the story of Mrs. Dolly Levi's efforts to marry Horace Vandergelder, the well-known half-a-millionaire, and send his money circulating among the people like rainwater the way her late husband, Ephraim Levi, taught her. Along the way she also succeeds in matching up the young and beautiful Widow Molloy with Vandergelder's head clerk, Cornelius Hackl, Cornelius' assistant, Barnaby Tucker, with Mrs. Molloy's assistant, Minnie Fay; and the struggling artist, Ambrose Kemper, with Mr. Vandergelder's weeping niece, Ermengarde. Mrs. Levi tracks Vandergelder to his hay and feed store in Yonkers, then by train back to Mrs. Molloy's hat shop in New York, out into the streets of the city where they are all caught up in the great Fourteenth Street Associa- tion , and finally, to the most elegant and expensive restaurant in town, the Harmonia Gardens. There, Dolly is greeted by the waiters, cooks, doormen and wine stewards in one of the most famous songs in the history of American musical comedy, "Hello, Dolly!" What happens in the end? Dolly gets her man, of course. Even makes him glad she caught him! Dolly leaves the stage at the end of Act II with a wink to the audience as she takes a peep into Vandergelder's bulging cash register, and promises that his fortune will soon be put to good use. She quotes her late husband as she says, "Money, pardon the expression, is like manure. It's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging young things to grow." "Hello, Dolly!" is an ebullient and irresistible story of the joy of living, glittering with happy songs, shining with loving scenes, alive with the personality of one of the most fabulous characters on the musical stage ...

Nancy Kenyon (Costume Designer) "George M's" costume demands didn't phase Nancy one bit as we welcome her back for another huge task of designing 1890's fashions for this large cast. She started costuming 7 years ago, initially in the area of dance and ballet, then graduated to theater. She developed interest in theatre in HS, danced in many plays, then took a fashion design and pattern course in col- lege. She holds a BS in Child Development and a Masters in Management. Nancy is married with a daughter in HS and she is currently costuming for PHS's musical and Christmas programs.

SPECIAL THANKS to Stephen C. Wathen for his assistance in this production. Many of you may not realize that Stephen is not only a talented production designer and scenic artist extraordinaire, but he is also a published playwright and his original production of "Dracula"-with his set designs- waspresented at Ohlone Collegein Fremont through this past Halloween weekend.

IN MEMORIAM

GLADYS MACARTHUR 113111900-6/14/2003

Gladys served as Secretary of WVLO's Board of Directors for many years and was a valued volunteer from the beginning of this organization, assist- ing with the Box Office, helping in the lobby with tickets, programs, usher- ing and selling concessions. Through the last 10 of her 103 years, she loved reading the WVLO programs, reminiscing about the first few productions when we were launching this community theater association and relating stories of the many "funny" things that happened on our live stage. Her memory and sense of humor were keen throughout her entire life and we will miss her wonderful tales of our early years. She had a remarkable life and we feel fortunate that she shared so much of it with us.
