A big crowd showed up for an after-school workshop to audition for the 60-member cast of '42nd Street/; ; J ; j Park Players take on Broadway's best

BY BRAD KADRICH STAFF WRITER

It didn't take Kristen Quesada long to start thinking big. Quesada, in just her second year as director of the Plymouth-Canton Schools' Park Players, puts on the biggest show in more than a decade when her Players hit the stage in the annual spring musical next month. The Players will do 42nd Street, an ambitious production that features nearly 60 cast members and 10 sets, in a production scheduled to run March 25-27 in the Gloria Logan Auditorium at Salem High School. The show, one of Broadway's most decorated, is currently running in revival in New York, and Quesada thought the timing was right. "It's a show I've always liked, they Alison Sarsfieid helps lead the dancers. The Park Ptayers' spring producticn features some 10 did it here about 14 years ago," dance numbers. \ Quesada said.

BYTONYBRUSCATO STAFF WRITER

Michael Aznavorian, owner of Clips & Clamps Industries in Plymouth Tbwnship's Metro West Industrial Park, said the loss of manufacturing jobs has forced his plant to struggle for the past three years. 0 "In fact, we haven't made any money over the three year period," said Aznavorian. "We're hanging on. We see a little brightness coming in 2004, only because we're getting a little business; not that we're getting higher prices for our product." Aznavorian said he tries to dp the right things as a businessman, but he wishes consumers would stop looking at the low prices of goods dumped into the U.S. from abroad and learn to Buy American. "There are responsibilities of corpora- tions to their communities,'' said , Aznavorian.
