Dear Friends,

I am delighted that you’ve joined us for the second show of our 2013 Summer Series, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. This musical has a mind of its own, always topping our audience survey when we ask you to rank shows you’d like to see in our next season. I’m with those who can’t get enough of this old-timey song-and-dance extravaganza and its rousing music, gravity- defying choreography, and (spoiler alert) not just one wedding - seven!

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers debuted on Broadway in 1982. It was based on the 1954 Stanley Donen film titled “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” which was adapted from the short story “The Sobbin’ Women” by Stephen Vincent Benét, a writer who saw comic potential in the dark legend, circa 750 BC, of Sabine women forced into marriage by Roman men. We last revived this show in 2006, and it is a prime example of the traditional musicals we bring to life year after year. Whether preserving classics from the time-honored theater canon or producing new works to add to it, we draw on the best of both worlds. Our elite teams of actors, directors, choreographers, musicians, costumers, carpenters and crew - many local and some imported (the way I see it, once in Pittsburgh, always in Pittsburgh), make the magic happen. When the lights go down and the street noise fades, for a few uninterrupted hours in this dark space surrounded by people who love the theater, we are the world.

If you enjoy today’s show, please mark your calendars for our upcoming productions of Kopit & Because every life has a purpose. Yeston’s Phantom, Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story, another audience favorite. Talk about music! This compelling tale of a young musician, who manages to squeeze in a lifetime of songwriting before his death at age 22, runs from July 30 - August 4. Remember, if you plan on seeing more than one show this summer, three qualifies you for a Season Ticket Package. There is still time to take advantage of the benefits that come free when you join our CLO family of Season Ticket holders, chief of which is great prices on preferred seats. Please see the center of this program for details.

Thank you for being here.

Enjoy the show! Our Mission That men and women may work in safety and that they, their families and their communities may live in health throughout the world.
