When most of us think of the 1950's, we think of rock en' roll, greasers, hot rods, Elvis, Annette, Fabian, D.A. haircuts and teenage rebel- lion. But there was a flip side to this era: the side of harmony, innocence and the sincerity of dreams. It is the side that's been lost in the shuffle of progress. It was a time when most parents and kids listened and danced to the same music; when families partook of the ritual of gathering in front of the TV to watch their favorite variety shows, like The Ed Sullivan Show or The Perry Como Show. It was a time when every family worked hard to fulfill the American Dream. It was a period when four-part guy groups harmonized their way across the airwaves, jukeboxes and hi-fis of the country. Throughout the land they would stand at a quartet of microphones, crooning a multitude of chaperoned prom- goers into dreamy romance. They wore dinner jackets and bow ties (or perhaps cardigans and white bucks). Each move was drilled to precision. Each vocal arrangement soared to stratospheric heights of harmony. This sound crested right before rock en' roll stole the heart- beat of music across the globe. During this time, guys across the country banded together to sing in the basement for fun. If things worked out they might be hired to sing at weddings, conventions, proms and country club socials. Inspired by the success of the re- cording stars, they made plans to zoom into careers of fame and fortune. But the musical taste of the U.S.A. was changing, and the country would not stop to listen to their dreams. This is the story of such a group: Forever Plaid Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who loved to sing. They all met in high school, when they joined the audiovisual club (1956). Discovering they shared an affection for music and entertaining, they got together and dreamed of becoming like their idols: The Four Aces, The Four Lads, The Four Freshmen, The Hi-Lo's and The Crew Cuts. They rehearsed in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company. It was here they became Forever Plaid: a name that connects the continuation of traditional values of family, home and harmony. Although rock en' roll was racing down the fast lane like a candy apple '''Vette,'' they believed in their music. As their sound devel- oped, they sang at family gatherings, fundraisers, and eventually graduated to supermarket openings and proms. They had little time for romance or leisure for

2 they supported their fantasy by holding down day jobs: Frankie was in dental supplies, Jinx was into auto parts, Smudge was in bathroom fixtures, Sparky was in better dresses. They devoted themselves to their singing at nights and on week- ends. Then, finally, they landed their first big gig at the Airport Hilton cocktail bar: the Fusel Lounge. Feb. 9, 1964: En route to pick up their custom-made plaid tuxedos, they were slammed broadside by a school bus filled with eager Catholic teens. The teens were on their way to witness the Beatles make their U.S. television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show and miraculously escaped uninjured. The members of Forever Plaid were killed instantly. It is at that moment, when their careers and lives ended, that the story of Forever Plaid begins. Through the Power of Harmony and the Expanding Holes in the Ozone Layer, in conjunction with the positions of the planets and all that astro-technical stuff, they are allowed to come back to perform the show they never got to do in life. And, having completed their Mission of Harmony, our men in plaid must return to the cosmos. Although they may be gone, through this production their dreams live on forever.

6 WHO'S WHO IN OUR CAST MICHAEL AMARAL (Jinx) - Michael returns for this third production with WVLO and his memorable performances as Joseph in "Joseph ... Dreamcoat" (for which he won an ERMA Award) and Phillipe in "Phantom". Michael first met our director about 10 years ago over the subject of staging "Forever Plaid" someday ... well, that day has finally come! Since his performances on this stage, Michael was cast in the leading role in "Pippin" for the SFMTC and was thrilled to share the stage and a few dance steps with the legendary Nanette Fabray, as Pippin's grandmother, and Morgan Brittany, as the evil, yet voluptuous step- mother. He considered it an amazing opportunity to work with and learn from these two wonderful performers. He then appeared in AMTSJ's production of "Evita" under the direction of Larry Fuller, the choreographer of the original Lon- don & Broadway productions. Michael has performed throughout the BayArea in musical theater productions of "Working" at SF's ACT Studio; "Into The Woods" for TSOHP and "1940's Radio Hour for Hillbarn Theater. Other credits include productions of "Hello, Dolly!", "The Boy Friend", "Anything Goes", and "Chi- cago". As a featured soloist and member of the Laudamus Choir, Michael has performed in numerous concerts, both locally and abroad. The emotional impact of Michael's transcending voice combined with the captivating melodies and or- chestrations of Tony Eiras can be heard in the Laudamus recordings: Your Will; Forever I Will Sing; What Child is This; and One Heart, One Song, One People a 9/11 Memorial. Michael is the corporate controller for a local software company and volunteers his time, talents and energy in support of the American Cancer Society and the HERS Foundation. Having Michael back on stage brings back great memo- nes. 0 f"J oseph" and"Ph antom ".

ROBIN MELNICK (Smudge) - We welcome Robin back for this third production with WVLO, following "Camelot" in 1994 (as Lancelot, when he first met his wife, Mary, in the role of Guenevere) and in 1998 as Vernon in "They're Playing Our Song" where he worked with many of the "Forever Plaid" staff, cast and crew. He has also appeared on the stage with SDG as El Gallo in "The Fantasticks" and as Richard Henry Lee in "1776". Elsewhere, he's performed with groups from AMTSJ to SF's Lamplighters and several in between. Some of his favorite roles and productions include Rapunzel's Prince in "Into The Woods"; Dominique in "The Baker's Wife" and Antipholus of Syracuse in "The Boys From Syracuse". Apart from theater, Robin has always enjoyed vocal harmony, performing most recently with groups ranging from vocal jazz quartet, Corner Pocket, with our Vocal Director, Diane Milo, to the a cappella quartet in Walnut Creek Center REP's perennial production of "A Christmas Carol" along with Tim Reynolds (Frankie) and his wife, Barbara. A Berkeley graduate, Robin makes his living in marketing in the networking semiconductor industry. He also enjoys gardening, 7 studying Karate and spending time with Mary and their one-year-old son, An- drew, whom he thanks for all of their love and support. Nice to have Robin back after that 5-year absence!!

TIM REYNOLDS (Frankie) - This also marks Tim's third production with WVLO, having previously appeared as Dex- ter Haven in "High Society" and as Vernon in "They're Play- ing Our Song". But he is no stranger to this stage for he performed major roles for SDG in "The World Goes Round", "The Fantasticks", "The Music Man", "A Day in Hollywood ... Ukraine", "42nd Street", "1776", "Irene" and 'My thing Goes". His numerous other credits include his first role in "Gypsy" for CMTS] more than 20 years ago and include productions of "Personals" with PAP; "Pipe Dream" with 42nd Street Moon; "A Christmas Carol" with CenterREP; "Bye, Bye Birdie" with PCS; "Crazy For You" with PCLO (now BBB); "West Side Story" & "Annie Get Your Gun" with Pleasanton Playhouse; "The Secret Garden" with MVP; "Wilbur and Me", "Big River" & "Merrily We Roll Along" with TheatreWorks and coundess roles with LACT. A graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in theatre, Tim is equally at home on the non-musical stage with such credits as "Blithe Spirit", "Bullshot Crummond", "AMidsummer Night's Dream" and the world premier of "Doubles" with SCPL in which he played six roles. His concert credits include the Sundays at Three series for the PSA. It's always a delight to have Tim on our stage.

NICK SPANGLER (Sparky) - Of this cast, Nick is the only one making his debut with WVLO. He's no stranger to theater, though, for he has performed with TheatreWorks, S]RT, PCS, and CMTS]. He has been seen as Riff in "West Side Story", Buddy Foster in "Sideshow" and Phillipe de Chandon in "Phantom". In his spare time, Nick enjoys editing film and practicing piano and dance. He has just completed a quarter at ACT's Young Conservatory, taking classeswith Craig Slaight. Nick has been accepted to The CAP21 program in The Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. He will be attending there beginning this September, and hopes to live in the "Big Apple" for many years following his training. When Nick makes it to Broadway, we can claim him as another one of our proteges! Good luck, Nick.

8 WHO'S WHO ON OUR STAFF

KRISTINE DUDLEY (Producer) - Rather than list all the productions with WVLO, let's count them by years. She first became involved back in 1989 working backstage and she's been there ever since, working behind the scenes in many ca- pacities, as Stage Manager, stage crew, props mistress, dresser, helping with costumes, ASM for our last show, and finally in the role of Producer- "The Boy Friend", "High Society" and last season's "Anything Goes", just to mention a few. She has also worked on SDG productions in various positions for the past few years. Her favorite show (besides this one) was "A Day In· Hollywood ...Ukraine" for SDG for which she was SM and props mistress. She's been in this valley long enough to remember cherry orchards and apricots drying at the Mariani plant in Cupertino. She is employed at Metron Technology where her career highlight is to successfully produce the company booth at the Semicon West Show each year. Kris loves to garden and watch the SF & SJ Giants or any baseball games and one of her future goals is to visit every major league park as well as the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Kris says we have her sister, Bonnie, to thank for all her hard work in helping with the props for this show. What a trooper! Thanks, Bonnie!

BRAD HANDSHY (Director/Choreographer) - Brad made his directorial debut with WVLO's 1999 production of "They're Playing Our Song", and he's delighted to be back to direct and choreograph "Forever Plaid", a show with which he's been wanting to be involved for nearly ten years. Brad also choreographed three of our other productions, as well as performed in two others, so we now credit him with seven productions for our Association. Other performing credits include over 20 musicals with such groups as AMTSJ, PCLO (now BBB) and FMT. Brad extends his gratitude to producer, Kris Dudley, for the opportunity to direct and choreograph one of his all-time favorite shows. Welcome back, Brad.

STEVE SHAPIRO (Music Director/Piano) - Steve brings to WVLO a variety of theatrical and musical experience, both onstage and offstage. His favorite onstage roles include Pontius Pilate in "Jesus Christ Superstar"; Sky Masterson in "Guys & Dolls" and Father Time in "Celebration" and he appeared in our production of "Guys & Dolls". Offstage, he has been music/vocal director for numerous shows including "Blood Broth- ers", "The Secret Garden", "Grease", "The Music Man", "Into The Woods", "Starmites", and most recently, "Honk". Other

9 performing credits include the San Diego Master Chorale; Theatre Sports Boston and San Diego; "Musical! The Musical" (an improv troupe specializing in full- length improvised Broadway-style musicals) and Improv Boston. Steve received a BA and MA in English from SDSU and a teaching credential in English and Mu- sic from UC Davis. It's great to have Steve back on our stage, this time illustrating what a wonderful pianist he is.

DIANE MILO (Assistant Director/Vocal Director) - Diane is very excited to be involved with her third production with WVLO, after performing as Sonia in "They're Playing Our Song" and as Ann in "1940's Radio Hour". She has also appeared on this stage in SDG's productions of "The World Goes Round" and "A Little Night Music" and in "Listen To My Heart", a one-woman concert which she conceived, produced and starred. Diane has recently been doing a lot of music and vocal direction, including productions of" 1940's Radio Hour" and "Oklahoma" with SCP and the upcoming "Rocky Horror Show" with CLTC. Her other theatrical credits include AMTSJ's "City of Angels", BBB's "Nunsense" & "Jesus Christ Superstar", Bus Barn's "Tapestry" and FMT's "Into The Woods" & "Merrily We Roll Along". Diane has been singing professionally for more than 25 years and is currently working on a solo cabaret act and CD project. She expresses her gratitude to have the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and talented cast and staff, but we feel grateful to her for sharing her time and talents on this production.

LES DALE (Production Designer/Technical Director/Scenic Artist) - Les started designing sets in 1986 for "Dames At Sea" and this will be his 20th production for WVLO in this capacity. Some of our regular theater goers will remember his sets for "Damn Yankees" and "Me & My Girl", but his favorite designs were "Fiddler On The Roof" and "Man of La Mancha". A retired native Californian, he loves cooking, painting and gardening as well as performing onstage. He has been nominated for many of his memorable roles and has several ERMA awards to show for his talents portrayed on our stage. He & his wife, Elizabeth, (who will produce our next production of "George M!") have a daugh- ter, son and 3 grandchildren and his goal is just to take life as it comes!

BOB WALLITNER (Production Stage Manager) - Bob is currently serving his fourth season as Resident Stage Manager since joining WVLO in October, 1999, for "Phantom". He had previously served as SM for several productions for SDG. During these past few years, Bob has been involved in some capacity in almost every show produced in this theater and is constantly amazed by the increasing number of wonderful friends he has found in the world of community theater. 10 SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR West Va{{ey Light Opera .9lssociation S

"A.l"\.. Chorus L'"me ....•...... March/Apri12. 004 Music by MARVIN HAMLISCH, Lyrics by EDWARD KLEBAN Book by JAMES KIRKWOOD & NICHOLAS DANTE This is a musical celebration of those unsung heroes of the American Musical The- atre - the chorus dancers; those valiant, over-dedicated, underpaid and highly-trained performers who back up the stars and make them look even more talented than they are. It is the srory about a group of dancers who are auditioning for an upcoming Broadway show, which opened on Broadway in 1975, starring Donna McKechnie, and won 9 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The incredible score includes "What I Did For Love", "AtThe Ballet", "Nothing" and its biggest hit, "One". "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" June/July 2004 Music by GENE DE PAUL, Lyrics by JOHNNY MERCER Book by LAWRENCE KASHA & DAVID LANDAY This musical is based on Stephen Vincent Benet's novel, "The Sobbin' Women", which was made into one of the great screen musicals of the 1950's by MGM. It is a colorful, warm and comic tale about the rustic romances of seven wild backwoodsmen who are part of a family of Oregon pioneers. This musical is a happy, hand-clapping, foot-stomping country-type entertainment at its best. The 1959 film version starred Howard Keel & Jane Powell and in 1982 opened on Broadway with Debbie Boone and David-James Carroll and later included San Francisco on its country-wide tour. The delightful score teems with catchy songs, including "Wonderful, Wonderful Day", "Love Never Goes AwaY' and "When You'reIn Love". •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Note: Musicals and performance dates may change subject to prior notice.

She found her way to the theater world by way of her hus- band, who, in one of his many mid-life crises decided to become an actor! Gail started sewing costumes for his various performances and soon was enlisted as a "stitcher". Well, she has now stitched her way through various productions at Hillbarn Theatre for the past 3 years as well as for Lyric Theatre's "Gypsy Baron" and "Patience". Gail stepped into the role as costumer for "Much Ado About Nothing" for Shady Shakespeare and designed the spooky Nosferatu for Hillbarn Theatre's recent production of "Dracula". We hope that since she didn't have to "stitch" too much for this show that we can persuade her to return for another one in the future that will really use her talents!!!

MICHAEL GLEN MUNOZ (Lighting Designer) - Michael lights up his l oth production for WVLO, his most recent be- ing "Kiss Me, Kate" (in which he also appeared on stage as one of the gangsters).

11 Glossary of Forever PlaidTerms

PLAID-Although plaid is traditionally used to mean "tartan," during the 1950s there was an abundance of plaid design used everywhere: curtains, couches, car upholstery, luggage, underwear, etc. Plaid became known as a conservative, "square" statement. Therefore, plaid is a state of mind, not just a pattern.

THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW-American's most beloved Variety Show. It was on television for over twenty years. Every Sunday night at 8 p.m., families across America would gather around the television and watch, transfixed, as Ed hosted every genre of entertainment from jugglers to opera stars, accordion players to comedians, the ballet to Broadway. Ed was very endearing, although a bit stiff in demeanor. He hosted the Beatles' U.S. television debut in 1964.

OSTERIZER-A very popular brand of blender used for making milk shakes, malteds, blending cake batter, pureeing veggies and also whipping things to be smoother than God ever intended.

AUDIO VISUAL CLUB-This was a society in high schools made up of students who volunteered to set up and/or run the movie projectors and slide shows for the various classes and school functions like the Driver's Education class and various Science and Geography courses. They would show films like: how to make a three-point turn in traffic; how salmon spawn; time lapse photography of yeast infections; and national Geographic specials (the Plaids' personal favorites).

1954 MERCURY-Mercury was a division of the Ford Motor Company. It was a mid-priced car and always had classic smooth lines and a smooth ride. The names of all their models usually begin with the letter "M": Monterey, Montclair, Montego.

BETTER DRESSES-A department in a women's clothing store which sells higher quality apparel.

MILTON BERLE-1950s comedian and raconteur known as "Mr. Televi- sion". He was so popular and beloved that America gave him the nickname of "Uncle Miltie",

MISS RHEINGOLD-A popular beer on the Eastern seaboard of the U. S. Every year there would be a contest to elect the most beautiful and poised '50s' woman who would be used in most of the advertisements for the beer. She typified the classic dream of every man during this period:

KRAFT MUSIC HALL-During the 50s, television programs were often produced by the sponsor. KRAFT was and still is a company mostly known for their cheese products. Perry Como hosted this program in the 1960s.
