Goodbye Girl Goes Back to 1978, a Year After Presents the Bay Area Premiere of the Opening of the Original Neil Simon Film Starring Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason Saratoga Drama Group presents the Bay Area premiere of: Neil THE Simon’s GOODBYE The GIRL Musical February 2000 Director’s Note Saratoga Drama Group My involvement with The Goodbye Girl goes back to 1978, a year after presents the Bay Area premiere of the opening of the original Neil Simon film starring Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason. I knew it would be a natural for the stage and I was determined to adapt it, but my negotiations to get the stage rights failed. So I reluctantly left Neil Simon’s the project behind and pursued other theatrical endeavors. But I still hoped that one day I could bring The Goodbye Girl to the stage. Fast forward to 1993. I heard there was going to be a Broadway musical The version of the film to star Martin Short and Bernadette Peters. While I never made it to New York to see the show, a number of close friends said the musical was funny, charming and a great evening. I bought the cast recording and immediately fell in love with the score GOODBYE by Marvin Hamlisch, who somehow manages to get even better with each The stage score he composes — and the wonderful lyrics of David Zippel (City of Angels), whom I consider to be the best lyricist on Broadway today. Musical And then of course, the book is by Neil Simon. GIRL I’m glad to report that the stage version captures both the feel and charm of the film while adding many of its own special moments — the kind you can create only in live theater. Book by Music by Lyrics by Neil Simon Marvin Hamlisch David Zippel So in a way, I’ve finally gotten my wish to bring The Goodbye Girl to the stage. But it could have happened only with an outstanding cast, crew, staff and orchestra who have worked hard — and laughed hard — to produce the Bay Area premiere you are about to see. Sit back and enjoy The Goodbye Girl. I know you’ll think it was worth waiting 23 years for. I do. — Ted Kopulos, Director Directed by Ted Kopulos Musical Direction by Michael Johnson Saratoga Drama Group Choreographed by Dottie Lester-White Board of Directors 2000-2001 Produced by Tim Reynolds & Leslie Hardy Tamel, Chairperson Lynn Haydis Leslie Hardy Tamel Pat Brown, Vice Chairperson Roberta Savage Stephen Maddox, Recording Secretary Julia Thomas C.

    August, 2005 Re: The Evolution of The Pilates Method: The Fletcher Work™ To Whom It May Concern, The Fletcher Work is the authentic evolution of the Pilates’ method. To be accurate and legitimate, any journalistic inquiry into contemporary Pilates must necessarily include this dynamic contribution. On behalf of The Ron Fletcher Company, I encourage you to take time to review the enclosed materials. Pilates is more than a contemporary fitness phenomenon. It is an extraordinarily effective conditioning method — nearly a century in development — whose time has finally come. Joseph Pilates’ original principles were absolutely sound, yet his wife, Clara, referred to her husband’s original work as “just the tip of the iceberg.” The development and evolution of the Pilates method over the last 35 years has been, in large part, the result of the work and vision of Ron Fletcher, their protégé and student for nearly three decades. Since Joseph PIlates’ death in 1968, no other individual has played a more pivotal role in the evolution and popularity of the Pilates method. Now in his eighties, Mr. Fletcher is one of only three such masters still teaching the Work. Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed information, or should you wish to pursue a related project, please do not hesitate to contact me. In addition to being one of the great luminaries of the Pilates world, Ron Fletcher is also very much alive, well and active… and he’s a great interview. Sincerely, Kyria Sabin encl The Ron Fletcher Company™ . POB 64971 . Tucson, AZ 85728-4971 . 520.323.7070 .
