PRODUCING SPONSOR The City of Vista’s Moonlight Amphitheatre and the Moonlight Cultural Foundation Gratefully Acknowledge the Generous Support of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. drbronner.com 1 2 WELCOME TO A CHORUS LINE Dear Friends, In the early 1970s, Broadway was in a slump. Musicals were flopping and Broadway dancers found themselves without employment. Along came two dancers, Michon Peacock and Tony Stevens, who had an idea to create a performing troupe of Broadway dancers. They took their concept to their friend and choreographer Michael Bennett, who got his start as a Broadway chorus dancer. But Bennett had another idea: a new musical about chorus dancers. On a wintery Saturday evening in January 1974, Bennett assembled a group of dancers who sat in a circle and told their life stories into a tape recorder for 12 hours (those recordings still exist). There was so much material, a second session was held and recorded. These stories, along with additional material contributed by the dancers as the show was developed in its workshop phase, would form the nexus of the its story. There was no real script in the show’s development phase. Each role was organically created suiting the talents and the personality of the person playing it. Composer Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Edward Kleban fashioned songs for the show as characters were developed. The workshop period of the show was pioneering as cast members weren’t used to being such a major part of the show’s creative process. When A Chorus Line opened in 1975, it was such a hit that it secured the Pulitzer Prize and other major awards going on to become one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history. Since we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Moonlight and A Chorus Line is part of that celebration, the timing of honoring the backbone of every production — the chorus dancers — couldn’t be more appropriate. For all the artists over the past four decades who have danced and soared on and above the boards of The Moonlight’s stage, we celebrate you, your lives, and your stories. Sincerely, Colleen Kollar Smith Steven Glaudini Jennifer Bradford Executive Producer Producing Artistic Director Foundation Executive Director The Moonlight salutes the chorus dancers who have artistically contributed to our history over the past 40 years. Pictured left to right are dancers from Aida, West Side Story, and Newsies photographed by Adriana Zuniga. 3 VISTA CITY COUNCIL We salute Councilmembers John B.

A Chorus Line represents the angst, insecurity, and passion of the working artist. It is not an easy life and art is not, nor has it Hector Guerrero ever been, easy. One of the messages of A Chorus Line — tenacity, hanging tough and overcoming rejection — hits close to home for me on many levels, but I will never forget the pain and wretchedness that comes from doing what I love. I also learned that it could toughen your fiber. It gives you strength to spring back. Follow your heart, know that it can be risky and sometimes painful, but always adventurous. It can as well build character. Without the support of an audience, the art of theatre would not exist. Thank you for your support. Ah-5-6-7-8!
