If Charlie Brown went pro, he would have been a "Washington Senator.

"Damn Yankees" is based on "The Year the Yankees Lost The Pennant", which was published in 1954, and set in 1958. Ironically, 1954 was the first year the Yankees hadn't won the pennant since 1948. In 1955, when "Damn Yankees" premiered on Broadway, the Yankees won the pennant but lost the World Series. In 1956, The Yankees started winning it all again. Yes, they won in 1958, too.

It is a rare musical that can satisfy not only the fan of musical comedy, the patron of more serious Faustian dramas, and also the nitpicking baseball fan whose spouse drags them to the theatre in the weeks around Opening Day. I have long wanted to present a production of "Damn Yankees" that provides all three, and am happy you are here to laugh with (or at), cheer for and perhaps have a heartstring or two tugged by our hapless Senators.

But the main reason that this lifelong Mets fan has enjoyed the months of planning and weeks of rehearsals leading to this perfor- mance is because, especially after last October, I vehemently agree with the performance's topic sentence. It is unfortunate to note that Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston, who first brought Lola and Applegate to us on both stage and screen, both passed away since we started working on this production last year. We believe this is only a coin- cidence, and hope that they have a good view of our stage from up there.

Play ball!! -Doug Brook, Director

6 Did you know?

• that "The Yearthe Yankees Lost the Pennant" was written in 1952, and set its Senators' defeat of the Yankees in 1958. Interestingly, in 1955, the also rather hapless Brooklyn Dodgers actually defeated the Yankees in the World Series, and the Milwaukee Braves did the same in 1957? • that there were no Major League teams in California, Texas, Canada, or anywhere west or south of St. Louis in the mid-1950's? • that the home run record was 60, set by Babe Ruth of the Yankees in 1927. (Mark McGwire hit 70 for St. Louis in 1999 to break Roger Maris' "unbreakable" record of 61 in 1961)? • that Major League Baseball has been integrated since Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1945? • that the Giants played in New Yorkthrough 1957 (they were the Gothams in the 1880's) and later moved to San Francisco? • that in the mid-1950's nobody currently playing for any Major League Baseball team was born yet-not even Cal Ripken?

Since beginning his career in musical theater at the age of 7 when he performed the role of Jack Frost in the 2nd grade winter concert, he has performed, choreographed and/or directed hundreds of productions. For PYT he choreographed and directed "Fiddler On the Roof", "Little House on the Prairie", "Here's Love" and "Godspell" as well as "State Fair" and "Oklahoma!" for SJCMT. His most favorite roles include Mike in ''A Chorus Line", Mr. Mistoffelees in "Cats" and Archibald Craven in SCp's recent production of "Secret Garden".

BRIAN SHEVELENKO-(Assistant Director) Another new- comer to our staff, Brian attended Carnegie Mellon University where he srudied (among other things) acting, directing, and worked on a variety of productions. In Chicago, Brian worked

Her local theatrical credits include performances in productions of "Grease", "Godspell" and in SDG's "The Goodbye Girl" as well as SCp's "West Side Story" and "Secret Garden". A graphic designer/art director at The Corsi Group in San Jose, Kristen first worked with Dean Scott on PYT's production of "Godspell" and later on SJCMT's "State Fair" last spring. Since they are planning a June wedding, she and Dean expect to work on many more projects after "Damn Yankees". Much happiness on your future collaborations! LINDA WALLITNER-(Production Stage Manager) Linda started her theatre career in 1961, came to WVLO in 1997, and has worked most shows on the technical staff since. She co-stage managed last season's productions of "Phantom" and "Will Rogers Follies" and this season's opening show, "High Society", with her husband, Bob. This season she has become the Resident Production Stage Manager for WVLO. She also appeared in the ensembles of "Brigadoon" and "Cabaret" (which she co-produced) for SDG. Her very favorite roles included Bloody Mary in "South Pacific", Nikki in "Sweet Charity" and the Housekeeper in "Man of La Mancha". Linda is very happy to back stage managing, because she loves working so closely with the staff, cast and crew at WVLO. And we are delighted to have this dedicated couple on our staff.
