From the Chairman... Welcome to this evening’s performance of ‘The Music Man’. It has been many years since Thespians last staged this musical and whilst it’s not one that is performed as often as it should be I know you will enjoy the general high-jinx and will recognise a number of very familiar tunes. The main song associated with this show is of course ‘Seventy Six Trombones’ but perhaps you will also remember ‘Till There Was You’ which was a hit for The Beatles. We are delighted to welcome back Jim Snell as our Stage Director for this show, whose last show with us was ‘Sweeney Todd’. John Edwards joins us again as both an exacting and ever capable Musical Director. Rehearsals have been hard work, but tremendous fun and I hope you will enjoy the results of the company’s labours in this performance. ‘The Music Man’ is very much a family show and it has been fun working with and getting to know the children who have joined with us for this production. Hitchin Thespians like to maintain a varied programme and so this more traditional show is a contrast to previous productions of ‘Jekyll and Hyde’, ‘Chess’ and ‘Sweeney Todd’. I would like to thank you for supporting us in this production and if this is the first production of ours you have attended we hope it will be the first of many. Now it’s time to sit back, read the synopsis and enjoy the show as the curtain rises on this bustling town in Iowa.

He works with societies extensively throughout the Home Counties and is just about to commence rehearsals of Stephen Sondheim’s musical ‘Follies’ for Wembley Operatic Society. He has won many NODA awards for ‘Best Production’. Jim is an active voluntary fundraiser for ‘Breakthrough’ – the breast cancer research charity, and any other spare time is enjoyed in the garden or travelling. JOHN EDWARDS - Musical Director Here comes the Music Man! During my time as Music Adviser in Banffshire, I had responsibility for a number of remote primary schools in the Scottish glens. My red Ford Cortina (instantly recognisable in the snow clad hills) would be greeted in the school yard by calls of “It’s the music manny!” - since the youngsters knew my arrival spelt a morning or an afternoon away from other curriculum demands and a fun-filled session of music-making. It was a privilege to be the ‘Harold Hill’ of Glenlivet, Aberlour, Tomintoul and other locations (many with strong whisky associations!) and I look forward to generating equal enthusiasm for music-making this week among the citizens of River City, Iowa. SARAH BAILES - Associate Choreographer Sarah has been involved in amateur dramatics for 30 years. She has been a member of Hitchin Thespians since 1993 and has taken part in many productions including playing Miss Flannery in our recent production of ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’. Previously she danced with Harrow Light Opera Company and has performed and choreographed for several societies in the North London area. For the last seven years Sarah has been choreographer for Young Thespians and is now delighted to be working with the ‘grown-ups.’ For all up-to-date news and information, don’t forget to log on to... www.hitchinthespians.org.uk If you are interested in joining the Society as either a member or a patron, then please contact:- Alex Evans - Hon. Secretary, 4 Cubitt Close, Hitchin, Herts. SG4 0EL [email protected] Alternatively, if you would prefer you can join our ‘SHOW MAILING LIST’ The Story... Harold Hill, a travelling salesman posing as a Professor of Music, goes from town to town selling in each the idea of forming a local boys’ band. He says he is ready to begin training the band if the town will buy all the necessary equipment from him. Not being able to read a note of music, he absconds with the money as soon as he has made a sale. His confidence trick has succeeded in town after town until he reaches River City, Iowa. Here an old crony, Marcellus Washburn, warns him about the townspeople. Harold Hill overcomes the incredulity of a committee sent to investigate his credentials by inducing them to form a barbershop quartet. His easy spiel soon wins over the townspeople, although his motives are still suspected by some, especially Marian Paroo, the local librarian and music teacher. She is the only one who really has proof that Harold is a con man, but she chooses to overlook this fact because she loves him. Through falling in love with Marian, Harold fails to make his usual getaway when the town officials are ‘tipped off’ about him by a rival salesman. Harold is forced to stage a demonstration by the Town Band he has formed in order to prove the efficacy of his teaching methods. Their rendering of the ‘Minuet in G’ would not have pleased Beethoven, but it arouses such enthusiasm amongst the wishful thinking parents that Harold is completely exonerated. Infected by the contagious spirit, even Harold has a change of heart and marches in step with the rest of the town. ★ ★ ★ ★ THE COMPANY ★ ★ ★ ★ nTom Evans Professor Harold Hill Tom is delighted to be returning to a lead role with Thespians after a short break. Over the last twenty or so years Tom has played many leading roles for us in shows such as ‘Jekyll and Hyde’, ‘Carousel’, ‘Kiss Me Kate’, ‘South Pacific’,‘Seven Brides For Seven Brothers’ and ‘Chess’. Despite this ‘The Music Man’ is a first for Tom as it is the first time that he will be appearing on stage with past and present pupils of Martins Wood Primary School where Tom is Head Teacher.

  • Winter 2019 Fresnel
    The Fresnel The newsletter of The Black Swamp Players, Inc. Bowling Green, OH Winter 2019 From the President... Dear Theater Lovers, Welcome to 2019 and the continuation of our 51st season! Clue: The Musical, our collaboration with FUMC and their dinner theater team, was a smashing success. It was such fun to see so many shows so well attended and to see such talented new faces in the cast. Thanks to Melissa Shaffer, Deb Shaffer, and Karen Long who jointly headed our production team. It warmed the heart of this grizzled Black Swamp veteran to see so many faces in our audience all at the same time. I’m guessing you felt the same way. I feel certain that The Music Man will exceed even Clue’s lofty attendance numbers. Speaking for the board, we know that we have a better product than our attendance rates would suggest. The attendance has been a concern for a number of years. We feel the best solution is finding a permanent home for our theater. We continue to look for and pursue ways for that to happen. In the meantime, I thought it worth appealing to you, our membership, and anyone else who happens to read this issue of The Fresnel for help. As I see it, the future of BSP depends on growing our audience. There are lots of ways to do that. Better marketing, more familiar shows, more musicals, larger casts are all approaches we are aware of and are to varying degrees working towards. Another way is for the people who already come to see Black Swamp productions (Yes, that would be you.
