We thank you for your support!! 2 Afew thoughtsfrom our Director ..... First off, let me say how extremely delighted I am to be back here at WVLO. After being truly overwhelmed by the incredibly positive re- sponse from the audiences who saw "Joseph", I had no doubt in my mind that I would cherish the challenge of directing "Phantom", the first production ofWVLO's 35th season. So I must offer a huge thank you to Ed Hand for asking me to be involved and entrusting me with the respon- sibility of a very complicated and detailed show. A brief bit of history: In 1983 Arthur Kopit and Maury Yeston started work on this musical version of Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, having obtained the rights from the Leroux estate. Over the next year or so, they developed the story trying to find a way to tell a very emotional human story and not just thrill and scare the audience. Just as they had found the solutions and were ready to move forward, there was an announcement out of London that Andrew Lloyd Webber was planning to do a musical version of "The Phantom of the Opera" in London. How could this happen? It turned out that "The Phantom of the Opera" was in the public domain in Great Britain. Arthur Kopit only had rights for the United States and Europe; and for only two years. So the race was on. The Lloyd Webber version was mounted first in London, became an instant hit, was announced for Broadway and Kopit/Yeston couldn't raise the money for their version. Broken hearted, they went their separate ways. Shortly after that, Arthur Kopit saw the Webber version in New York and realized that Webber's approach was so fundamentally different that maybe there was some hope left. But nothing happened. A few years later, he transformed his script into a two-part miniseries for NBC, starring Charles Dance as the Phantom. By that time there were Phantom musi- cals springing up all over the place. Maybe someone would see the miniseries, think it would make a good musical and they'd be ready. continued on next page 3 Director's Notes, from page 3 In effect, that's what happened. In January of 1991, Houston's Theater Under the Stars put a new producing team together and presented the world premier of the Arthur Kopit/Maury Yeston version, which was renamed simply "Phantom" to separate it further from the Lloyd Webber version. Since that time, this more emotional, human version has been seen, accepted and loved all across the country. I am proud to have the same creative design team for "Phantom" that worked with me on "Joseph". We have all collaborated and stretched our creative abilities to bring you a magnificent, awe-inspiring and spellbind- ing theatrical experience. With this incredible technical achievement, combined with an exceptionally talented cast, I hope you are moved and enraptured by what you are about to experience as you have never been before. - David Hock, Director ACRONYMS USED INTHIS PROGRAM AEA Actor's Equity Association PCS Peninsula Center Stage AMTSJ American MusicalTheater PYT Peninsula Youth Theatre of San Jose SCP Sunnyvale Community Players ALHS Abraham Lincoln High School SCPL Santa Clara Players CCCT Contra Costa Civic Theater SDG Saratoga Drama Group CSU California State University SJCMT SanJoseChildren's MusicTheater ERMA Enid & Ross Maurice SJSU San Jose State University FDR Franklin Delano Roosevelt STOC Studio Theater of California G&S Gilbert & Sullivan SVCT Sourh ValleyCivic Theater LVMTS LasVegasMusic Theater Series TSHP This Side of the Hill Players MPG Menlo PlayersGuild USF University of San Francisco OSU Ohio State University VCLO ValleyCivic Light Opera PAP Palo Alto Players WVLO West ValleyLight Opera PCLO Peninsula Civic Light Opera WGHS Willow Glen High School 4 CAST OF CHARACTERS The Phantom Simon Relph" Christine Daee Lane McKenna Philippe, The Count de Chandon Michael Amaral Gerard Carriere Les Dale Alain Cholet..

March 29, 2014 The Inge Digital collection in KU ScholarWorks contains scholarly conference papers presented at the annual William Inge Theatre Festival, held at Independence Community College, in Independence, KS. The Independence Community College library is the curator of the William Inge Collection, home of over 400 manuscripts by William Inge donated primarily by Inge and his family, as well as press clippings, memorabilia and books. Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds By Jeff Loomis Presented at the William Inge Theater Festival 2014 2 Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds ”Wings,” produced in 1979 to high acclaim, is a key work in Arthur Kopit’s dramatic canon. In preparing this poignant transcription of one character’s efforts to conquer the debilitation caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, Kopit researched much medical data, after first having confronted his own father’s stroke and resultant death (“Wings” 142-143). Indeed, some critics have surmised that Emily Stilson, the central character of “Wings,” also dies, after enduring her second stroke, at the culmination of her drama’s plot (Simon 78, Rosen 78). The conclusion of the play seems ambiguous to me, though, and the drama surely strives, through much of its action, to demonstrate the slow, but apparently sure, dimensions of a recuperation that Emily Stilson had known, at least for a time. Meanwhile, of course, she did suffer (and we thus see dramatized) abundant personal anguish.

Now in its fifth season, this year’s lineup of hilarious Off-Broadway hits opens November 5-17 with the North American tour of Spamilton: An American Parody, making its Kansas City premiere. Tickets are on sale now. Created by Gerard Alessandrini, the comic mastermind behind the long-running hit Forbidden Broadway, which played the 2017-18 Starlight Indoors series, Spamilton: An American Parody is a side-splitting new musical parody based on a blockbuster hit of a similar name. After numerous extensions of its run in New York, this hilarious production made a splash in Chicago, Los Angeles and London. Now, Spamilton: An American Parody brings a singing, dancing and comedy revolution to Kansas City. “Spamilton pays a hilarious tribute to its inspiration and is smart, sharp and funny to its core— everything you’d want and more from a spoof of Broadway’s most popular musical,” Caroline Gibel, director of indoor programming at Starlight, said. “The best part is, you don’t have to have seen Hamilton to enjoy Spamilton.

Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.
