Martin Charnin, Artistic Director Maggie Stenson Pehrson, Executive Producer For those of you new to SHOWTUNES, In Association with STG and BAA welcome to what our patrons have present long referred to as “Seattle’s best-kept secret.” For those of you who already appreciate our shows, welcome back to what BroadwayWorld.com calls “a musical theater lover’s paradise.” We thank the staff at STG for making us feel so at home, and our friends at BAA for spreading the SHOWTUNES word to their Broadway-loving subscribers. We .VTJDBOE-ZSJDTCZ(FPSHF.$PIBOt#PPLCZ.JDIBFM4UFXBSUBOE+PIOBOE'SBODJOF1BTDBMt -ZSJDTBOE.VTJDBM3FWJTJPOTCZ.BSZ$PIBOt1SPEVDFEPO#SPBEXBZCZ%BWJE#MBDL ,POSBE.BUUIBFJBOE-PSJO&1SJDFt also send our heartfelt thanks to our %JSFDUFEBOE$IPSFPHSBQIFEGPS#SPBEXBZCZ+PF-BZUPO generous individual donors. Last sea- son, two long-time supporters offered Starring (in Alphabetical Order) to match donations received, and that appeal added nearly $5000 to our coffers. The harsh reality, however, is that this amount represents a quarter of the costs associated with one produc- tion. So tonight we’re again asking for donations! You can mail us a check, or make an online donation via the PayPal link on our website. What will re- ally help us grow is your voice, telling other people about SHOWTUNES. The best marketing comes from our enthusiastic patrons. If you have feedback for us, or would like to provide a quote for us to use on our website (www. showtunestheatre.org) or Facebook page (SHOWTUNES! Theatre Company), please send an email: [email protected]. We are passionate about bringing rarely seen musicals to you - our savvy and appreciative audi- ence – and we’re so glad you came to enjoy the songs of George M. Cohan Musical Numbers: with us tonight!
