A retail clerk with Safeway, Steve loves barbershop music and says the highlight of his career was singing with the Career Opera Singers in Bear Valley. While singing with the SJSU Choraliers, he toured Australia in 1986 and has his sights set on a professional singing career. Hope you make it, Steve.

VIRGINIA MITCHELL - Kate Although Virginia is also a native Califomian and has performed with several theatrical groups in the Bay Area, this is her first performance with WVLO. Her credits include two productions as Anita in 'West Side Story" (which she describes as a 1antastic experience'), "Any- thing Goes", "Oklahoma", "Damn Yankees" and "HMS Pinafore" for SJCMT, "Camelot", "Two Gentlemen of Verona", "How To Succeed" and "Gypsy" for SCP, and "Man For All Seasons" for Foothill College. She has also rostumed for SJCMT and for Theater West. Her most recent production was in 1981 in Montalvo Players production of "Mash". Virginia says, "Mer spending some time away from theater, developing a ''Yuppie" technical career in Silicon Valley, it's great to be back with my 1irst love', the theater." And we are pleased that she chose this great Gershwin show for her 'comeback'!! Don't stay away so long.

ROBERT P. BERGMAN - Zoli Bob appears in his sixth production with WVLO, a~hough there has been a 5-year span between this and "Man of La Mancha" when he played the role of Sancho Panza. Other productions were 'Oklahoma", "Pajama Game", ''Good News" and "Perfectly Frank". Since he last appeared with us in 1983 Bob has performed with G&S, the Saratoga Chamber Theater (Foothill Festival), and The lamp- lighters in SF. His credits include productions with CAST, SCP, SJMT, and the Foothill College Summer Theater. A native of Ubya, Bob has lived in the Santa Clara Valley since 1968, and is a graduate of Santa Clara University Law School. He is married to Cara-Lynn and is a practicing attorney emphasizing estate planning, real estate, corporate and personal injury law and just happens to have plenty of his business cards handy. Welcome back, Bob!

TERI KENT - Molly Another new face and talent on our stage, Teri has an impressive list of credits which includes an appearance on TV with Danny Thomas Productions in "Blood Sport" with Larry Hagman and Garey Busey and performance in "Bye Bye Birdie" at the Sacramento Music Circus with Tab Hunter & Dan Truhitte. Other stage appearances have been in "Gypsy", "No No Nanette", "Pajama Game", "Music Man", "David & Lisa", and "The Play". She has studied film acting with Dennis Sakamoto, Stage One and technical theater production from Jerry Helm, in addition to many other sessions in various aspects oftheater. A meeting planner for Kent & Associates, Teri wants to work in film and television commercials. From our viewpoint, her goals certainly seem attainable. Good luck, Teri! CARA-L YNN BERGMAN - Charity This may be Cara-Lynn's debut wtth WVLO, but avid SJCMT and G&S fans will recognize her from her performances in "Cinderella", "Scrooge", "HMS Pinafore", "Oklahoma", "Music Man", "Pirates of Penzance", "Princess Ida", ''The Gondoliers", "Babes in Toyland", "Ruddigore", "Patience", ''Trial By Jury", and "Iolanthe"; an impres- sive list of credss for such a young lady. Besides these she has performed for the Lamplighters, Saratoga Chamber Theater (Foothill Festival), SCP, and Centerstage Productions. Before she met and married Bob (Zol~, she traveled extensively wtth her fami!y for World Vision Intemational throughout the US and Central America. This may be her first, but we hope not the last production wtth us. Come back soon, Cara-Lynn.

BILL WILKINSON - Sam This will be Bill's sixth performace with WVLO, his most recent in last season's opener, "", preceeded by ''The Desert Song", "Some Enchanted Evening", "Sweet Chartty", and "Showboat". Other appearances have been local productions of "Sound of Music", "Carousel" and currently is a regular cast member in the murder mys- teries for private parties presented by "Murder By Design". His BA Degree in Eoonomics from the Universtty of Minnesota provides his backround for his current profession of registered investment advisor and financial planner. His hobbies include golf, music, reading and theater and of course, studying the stock market. Any good tips, Bill? With such a busy schedule, we are delighted he makes the time to share his talents and perform for us.

JACK FLEMNG - Doc Regular theater goers will remember Jack's first appearance with us as General Birabeau in ''The Desert Song" and then his wonderful drunk, Whttney, in "Anything Goes" last year. Character roles seem to be his specialty and his most favorite was in ''Ten Commandments" in 1956. As a member of AFTRA, SAG and Equity, Jack has per- formed on TV in "Dragnef, Studio One" and several others. In other local musicals he played Mayor Shinn in "Music Man" with CAST. Jack is married and has 3 children and is a perfect candidate for "Embraceable You", because he's so huggable.

JOHN HUFF - Snake-Eyes Another name on our list of newcomers, John began acting over 20 years ago at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas. After touring with the After Dinner Players throughout Texas and performing in several productions there, he moved to Cal~omia in 1976. Locally, he has appeared in "Bus Stop", "Catch Me If You Can", and "Carousel" all at SCU and in 'West Side Story" for PA Players. John has wmten 5 plays.

and also directed several shows. He was the founder and director of ""- .j The Shiloh Players, a local acting group for 8 years while he was • 'l.~ • performing in The Singing Christmas Tree at CPA. John is a maintenance supervtsor at Housing Associates, Inc., is married and has 3 children. His major aspiration is to open a Dinner Theater in the Santa Clara Valley. Does that mean, John ~ you attain your goal, you won't be able to perform wtth us? Much as we would like to see you succeed, we would hate to lose such a good character (actor, that is!) SYNTHIA DeLORENZO. - Rita This is. the first appearance on our stage for Synthia although sha states she has been in the Bay Area 10rever'! She has been teaching dance for the past 6 years at the American Dance Academy where she teaches tap, jazz and ballet to all ages and just recently became Dance Director for Recreation US4 which has schools all over Santa Clara County and Sacramento.
