A History of Upper Darby Summer Stage Compiled by Cate R. Paxson Author’s Note “Mom, if Harry hadn’t invented Summer Stage, I don’t know what I would have done with my life.” Bethany Paxson This compilation started as simple timeline of Summer Stage’s thirty years. Having a background in journalism, it seemed like a simple, although time - consuming project. You find out what occurred, who was involved, when and how it happened, and record it in an objective manner. I should have realized, the laws of journalism are useless, when writing about “magic”. I opened the first scrapbook. “POOF!” The spell was cast. All simplicity and objectivity gone…(Along with, I might add, the actual memories of its former participants) All I could feel was “the magic”, and as a result of trying to grab hold of it, I often lost the inevitable wrestling match that followed. Already cast under a spell, my own memories overpowered me. I did try to use some restraint, but I often failed. (In other words, it was not my fault. Blame it on the “Magic”!) On that same note, we exist today in a magical time where there are such things as “cut and paste” and “add and delete” commands. Anything in these pages that need to be changed, it is easily done. I wish I could have included all those choreographers and musical directors in the early days of Children’s Theater, but it was difficult enough to agree on who was the director. Consider this a “preview”, or as somebody once said, “At least it’s a start.” Magically yours, Cate R. Paxson First Printing, July 1, 2005 PS. I have wanted to compile this information for quite a while. For me, it as a tiny “thank you” to Harry for his many gifts to my family, through his own unique vision that is known as Upper Darby Summer Stage. 1 1976 Show Director - Choreographer - Musical Director Mainstage The Miracle Worker Cathy Pregmon Anything Goes Ed Fiscella - Carmella Guiteras - Harry Dietzler The Magic of America ! Harry Dietzler - Nancy Santamaria - Harry Dietzler Children’s Theater (Directors only) Frankenstein Slept Here Brian Viola The Invisible Dragon Franklin Evans/Cathy Pregmon Tom Sawyer Harry Dietzler The Emperor’s New Clothes Nancy Hickey Red Riding Hood Brian Viola Ransom of Red Chief Cathy Pregmon ! Footnotes: ! Magic of America (!an original production) is written by Harry Dietzler and Terry Colgan. ! Mainstage starts out with 3 productions, generally two musicals and one drama, although occasionally that pattern is reversed. This, as you will note, continues for about the next 13 years, until finally sanity prevails, and Mainstage evolves into one major production with many minor offshoots: One Acts, Cabaret, and occasionally full productions. ! A tradition begins: The singing of “To Fill the World with Love”: This first tradition becomes the most memorable of each summer, celebrating not only the “soul” of the Summer Stage philosophy, but also honoring those Summer Stagers who are no longer with us. ! Children’s Theater ticket prices are: $.75, preferred seating (the middle) $1.00, group rates $.50. Senior Citizens are free. ! All production work is on a volunteer basis. Directing does not become a paying position until the mid-80’s. ! There are two performances of each show, held on Wednesdays at 10:30 am, and 1:30 pm. ! Total Attendance for children’s shows: 2,915, for Mainstage: 3,704 " Fun Facts: Terry Nolan is cast as Red Chief. " Fun Facts: The original members of Summer Stage were: John Adamson Jeanne Festa Mark Makurath Bob Babish Donna Filosa Maria Mangos Bill Baldwin Dorothy Finn Betsy Mason John Barakat Ed Fiscella Cathy Mathers Betty Jane Berry Sue Frank Marianne McGuckin John Berry Jack Freeman Sean McGuckin Jerry Bobnak Monica Friel Cindy McLain Tony Borda Lex Gallen Peter McManus Anne Bradley Lynn Gavin Bernie Medrow Terry Bramley Karen Geist Mary Alice Morro Bernadette Brogan Ray Gilliard Lynn Nelson Rose Brown JoAnne Gilmore Vince Nichols John Bruce Erich Glasbrenner Terry Nolen Julia Bruce Geoff Gordon Brian O’Doherty 2 Samuel Bruce John Gorman Jeannette Osmon Rich Bucciarelli Barbara Graham Melinda Osmon Eileen Burke Carol Graham Sue Osmon Joe Burke Ronnie Grant Joyce Pawloski Marita Burke Carol Gray Jerry Perna Rosanne Burke Carmella Guiteras Peggy Petracca Hugh Burns Bill Hanlon Linda Pfortner Patricia Butkus Mary Hanlon Christine Phelan Julie Callaghan Teri Hanlon Mary Ellen Phillips Joe Calvecchio Lori Hannon Albert Pinto Brett Campbell Tricia Harding Barbara Pinto Brian Campbell Donna Harrop Joe Pinto Joseph Catalini Anne Hearn Lisa Pinto Bill Chuplis Ken Heckman Tom Pinto Maura Ciccarelli Liz Heckman Cathy Pregmon Peggy Cleary Carol Hickey Dean Price Joanne Colden Nancy Hickey Kathy Raymond Neil Conboy Kevin Hills Ruth Raymond Dave Connell Julie Hofmann Chuck Riccolls Mariellen Cotterall Bill Hogan Linda Richards Alexia Cuddy Theresa Hogan Beth Riley Tom Dalton Steve Horan Jacqueline Riley Eddie Daniels Anne Marie Horton Joanne Riley Cindy D’Antonio Jim Houston Joe Rizzo Marian Daum Joan Hufnagel Gina Roache Glenn Davish Karen Hufnagel Peter Rollo Gary Derr Sue Hufnagel Noreen Roney Jim Devenny Bob Humble Rich Roper Dan Dever Michelle Hutchinson Margie Rowell Debbie DiCocco Elaine Johnson Nancy Santamaria Stephanie DiCocco Eileen Jorand Mary BethSchumacher Andrea Dietzler Mary Jordan Norma Schumann Jeannine Dietzler Matthew Jordan Rick Shaw Maryanne Dietzler Elizabeth Kelby Judy Sheehan Michele Dietzler Barbara Kelley Barb Siftar Tim Dietzler Sue Kelley Paul Snyder Jim DiRenzo Kevin Kelly Karen Taylor Thomas Donaghy Terry Konrad Mickey Thompson Louise Doyle Kathy Koob Katie Toenniessen Patti Driscoll Mike Koob Linda Toenniessen Stuart Duffy Megan Lake Michele Tomaselli Margaret Dunbar Mary Landaiche Vicki Town Leo Eisenstein Suzanne Lazzaro Joyce Tucker Lorraine Ellis Wendy Levine Lynn Tucker Alicia Evans Barbara Levy Joe Udinskey Franklin Evans Elizabeth Louden Sharon Udinskey Joe Farrell Walter Lugowski Brian Viola Frank Farrell John Maccario Dave Wetzel Tim Farrell Gail MacDiarmid Jim Williams Trish Farrell Brian MacQueen Lisa Yangello Jody Zerillo 3 1977 Mainstage The Mousetrap Brian Viola No, No, Nanette Ed Fiscella - see footnotes - Harry Dietzler The Music Man Harry Dietzler - Nancy Santamaria - Harry Dietzler Children’s Theater Alice in Wonderland Harry Dietzler Cinderella Ed Fiscella Tarradiddle Travels Bob Babish Peter and the Wolf Nancy Santamaria The Trouble with Midas Lisa Marie DiOrio The Wizard of Oz Kevin Hill Jack And the Beanstalk Dan Dever Fairy Tale Tonight John Foley Footnotes: ! A first and only time phenomena at Summer Stage, the Mousetrap is “held over”, and Music Man has a special matinee to aid, the Johnston Flood victims. ! Nancy Santamaria directed and choreographed Peter and the Wolf. It is very short and to fill up the time, a second short play The Trouble With Midas is added to the performance. ! Choreographers for No, No, Nanette: Nancy Santamaria - Pam Kubrick - Cheryl Brown ! The numbers of Summer Stagers who are eager to participate in this year’s program grows to 400. Individual auditions are held at the Multi Service Center, which takes many days. ! Total attendance at Children’s Theater expands an impressive 500% to 11,299. Mainstage attendance more than doubles to 8,079. " Fun Facts: The set actually falls over in Music Man, but the performance manages to endure, with a standing ovation for Shipoopi and at the end of the show. " Harry meets Dottie, who is tap dancing on the piano (or so I’ve heard). " Couples who met at Summer Stage and later married include: Anne Pinto and Dean McCarney Anne Owens and Dave Green Rob Henry and Heather Dooley Dave Wetzel and Ann Bryson Terry Nolen and Amy Murphy Bill Pettigrove and Celestine McCutcheon Dave Wetzel and Stephanie Nespoli Suzie Ciarrocchi and John Waldie Nick Hunchak and Krissy Fraelich Harry Dietzler and Dottie Breakey 4 1978 Mainstage Of Thee I Sing Ed Fiscella - Harry Dietzler Harvey Rich Roper A Gershwin Rhapsody!

Footnotes: ! The original production, Gershwin Rhapsody, is conceived, written, directed, conducted, and so on and so forth by Harry Dietzler. As illustrated in Magic in America, a formula emerges that will become the basis for the ever popular Summer Stage Staple, The Musical Review. ! Choreographers for Gerhswin: Suzi Ciarrochi, Debbie Di Cocco, Lex Gallen, and Nancy Santamaria ! Both Unicorn…and Carnival are dance and movement shows. 5 1979 Mainstage The King and I Ed Fiscella – Debbie DiCocco - Harry Dietzler Inherit The Wind Dennis Bloh Oklahoma Harry Dietzler - see Footnotes - Harry Dietzler Children’s Theater The Magic Circus Suzi Ciarrocchio Winnie the Pooh Michael McGuiness Hansel and Gretel Barb Siftar Mary Poppins Bob Falkenstein The Jungle Book Juliana Schauerman Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Terry Nolen Footnotes: ! Choreographers for Oklahoma: Suzi Ciarrochi, Stephanie DiCocco, Louise Doyle " Fun Fact: Bob Falkenstein is unable to play the Prince in Snow White. (The night before the show’s opening he is in a bicycle accident loses his front teeth.). Dave Wetzel fills in with an ill - fitting costume. Bob (with his jaw now wired shut) goes on to direct Mary Poppins and becomes the first and only director in Summer Stage history never to raise his voice to his cast.

That is, when a situation was deemed a “communist threat,” U.S. policy makers responded through a variety of options including, but not limited to, the use of covert intervention (such as the orchestration of military coups to unseat supposed communist leaders), of economic reprisals (such as the removal of U.S. economic aid to a given country), and even of military force.

Upstairs, our Independence Studio on 3 season is filled with thrilling mysteries, delightful musicals and our annual National Touring production, seen first by you, our faithful Philadelphia audience.
