ccording to Webster’s dictionary, the definition of the word “entertain- ing” is: amusing, enjoyable, pleasurable, hilarious, charming, humorous, Aengaging, compelling, interesting, comical and witty. While there have been many musicals written with wonderful, heartfelt, and loving messages, “Crazy For You” has just one message; to be entertaining. There is no major underlying message here other than the creators of this musical just wanted the audience to sit back in the theater and be taken away for a couple of hours from their hectic lives. This musical has the music and lyrics written by the incredible and talented duo of George and Ira Gershwin. Today, where are songs like: “I’ll Build A Staircase To Paradise”, “Embraceable You”, “Bidin’ My Time”, “Slap That Bass”, “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”, “Someone To Watch Over Me”, “Nice Work If You Can Get it” and “I Got Rhythm”, just to name a few? Well, this is what you’re about to hear! So let us take you on a journey where the plot is simple, but the music and lyrics have been memorable for decades. We, the staff, crew and cast are Crazy For You to have a fun time!! Enjoy, —Bill Starr

IN MEMORIAM: LYNN MARY SALAZAR April 30, 1952 – April 23, 2014 Lynn was not only a major donor to this organization, but a performer as well. She loved singing and was thrilled to portray a nun in our 2011 produc- tion of “The Sound Of Music”. We will truly miss her beautiful voice, smile and positive attitude that she brought to our cast, crew, staff and volunteers. She battled cancer for several months and now she is singing in the great Heavenly choir with her Lord Jesus Christ. Rest in peace, Lynn!

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT In this program, we are initiating a special feature high- lighting people who volunteer their time and talent as musicians who provide the live music for our productions. Through the years, many subscribers/audience members have complimented our live orchestras for the wonderful backgrounds they have provided for our Broadway musicals. Tonight’s spotlight shines on Marty McHan, a very special member of our orchestra who has played for more than 50 of our shows during our 49 seasons and we are always so happy to see his smiling face in our orchestra! He is such a wonderful person to work with and the other musicians love him, too, because he brings his very special baked goods to rehearsals and performances for the company to enjoy! Marty is a very versatile musician; he plays several reed instruments (sometimes more than one for a show) and back in 1980, we remember him playing saxophone for “Good News”!! Marty is always a welcome addition to our reed section and we are so grateful to his family for allowing him the time to share his talents. His continued support and dedication are a real inspiration to the rest of us in this organization!

This is a perfect role for him since it allows him the unique opportunity to play the Upright Bass in “Slap That Bass”. He’s a relative newcomer to musical theater, having performed on this stage in SBMT’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” earlier this year. He is, however, a veteran of the stage, having toured the US and Canada with a variety of musical acts for over 15 years. In 1996, he claims he landed the most important role of his life “being a Dad”! By day, Michael is an electrician, but happiest when he’s on stage!
