OUR NEXT PRODUCTION The opening production of the 1980-81 season will be one of the nostalgic musical comedies of the Twenties, "Good News," and will open October 4. The original production opened on Broadway in 1927, played at the Curran in San Francisco in 1928, and was made into a Hollywood film in 1947 which starred June Allyson and Peter Lawford. This delightful comedy by Laurence Schwab and B. G. DeSylva with Music by Ray Henderson, Lyrics by B. G. DeSylva and Lew Brown, was later revived and rewritten to star Alice Faye, and in a special road show version. The score had several hit songs including "Varsity Drag," "The Best Things in Life Are Free," "Lucky In Love," and the title song. Applications for Production Staff personnel are currently being accepted. For additional information, please call the Producer, Edward Hand, at (408) 356-7340.

GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Los Gatos Elementary School District, Saratoga Union School District, San Josz Children's Music Theater, Connie Adkins, Gene Collinge, Sheldon of Los Altos, 380 Main St. Los Altos, Saratoga Drug Store, Los Gatos Pharmacy, Palo Alto Times, San Jose Mercury·News, Los Gatos Times-Observer, Saratoga News, Radio & TV Stations KBAY, KEEN, KLlV, & KXRX. ROBERT GIBBS (Curly) This is Bob's fifth show with WVLO, his third "on stage." In productions of "Rose Marie" and "South Pacific," he played leading roles, then became Choral Director for "Camelot," and made headlines for our last production, "Brigadoon." This time he combines his vocal talents and directing abilities by acting both 'on stage' as Curly and "in the pit" as Musical Director. He has performed in "Oklahoma!" before as well as a number of other appear- ances with the King Family, Hayward Symphony and "The Overtures" and "Footliters." We hope to see more of Bob in the future both on and off the stage.

ROBERT P BERGMAN *(Curly) This Bob makes his debut with our Association and brings a long list of theatrical credits; among them leading roles in "West Side Story," "Irene," "1776," "Damn Yankees," "Oliver," "HMS Pinafore," "Anything Goes," "Annie Get Your Gun," and several others. He recently graduated from the University of Santa Clara's Law School and in addition to his legal profes- sion has aspirations of directing in the future.

VIVIAN C. ALBRECHT (Laurey) A resident of Half Moon Bay, Vivian is also making her debut with this production. She has an extensive background in theater including por- trayals of Laurey, Julie Jordon in "Carousel," Hodel in "Fiddler on the Roof" and Annie Sullivan in "Miracle Worker." Vivian studied directing at USC and has directed both musicals and dramas. She is studying voice at the Peninsula Conservatory of Music and still manages time for her hus- band and two children. We are happy to have Vivian commute so far to share her talents with us.

MICHELLE D. FERCHAU*(Laurey) A newcomer to our stage, Michelle is quite a veteran in theater. She began her career at 14 in the title role of "Gypsy" and has since been seen in leading roles in "Robin Hood," "Anything Goes," "Bye, Bye Birdie," and "Godspell." She sang with a 10-piece jazz group, "Mainsqueeze," for four years and has been married "... for 2'/2 wonderful years to a trumpet player named Charlie." She is involved in various Church activities in her spare time. HOWARD GRAY (Will Parker) A Freshman in Combined Sciences at the University of Santa Clara, Howard is taking time to make his debut with WVLO in this production. He has appeared in "Oklahoma" before as well as leading roles in "Music Man," "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," and "Harvey." He loves music, has been playing the piano for 12years and even though he plans to attend Med School, he will stay involved with theater in some way. We will always be glad to have Howard's energy and talent in our productions.

DEE DEE BROWN (Ado Annie) You may not have seen Dee Dee on stage in "My Fair Lady," but you saw her creative talents on stage in the costumes which later won her an award. Even though she has worked with us before, this does mark her debut as a performer. She has performed at Marriott's Great America for four years and is currently serving as Production Assistant. Former leading roles include Nancy in "Oliver" and Irene in Sunnyvale Community Players' "Irene." In addition to costuming this production, she is a Junior at San Jose State majoring in Radio-Television Communications and planning a January wedding to our talented director. Best wishes to you both!

JILL HARRY (Ado Annie) Jill returns in her second production for WVLO, her first in "South Pacific" last year. A sophomore at Monta Vista High School, Jill has already appeared in several productions including "Hello, Doily," "Bye, Bye Birdie," "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." She teaches for Sunny- vale Presbyterian School of Music and is involved in many school activities; a busy gal but she loves it and we're delighted she made time for this role.

MARGE HAND (Aunt Eller) No stranger to this group, Marge appears in her 16th production. Mem- orable roles through the past 15 years have included leads in "Fiddler on the Roof," "I Do! I Do!," "Robert & Elizabeth," "George M," and as Morgan LeFey in this season's "Camelot." More recently she appeared as Mama Rose in Sunnyvale Community Players' "Gypsy" and Lady Thiang in a local production of "King & I." Marge is President of "The Overtures" and is a real estate agent with the Monarch Group in Campbell.

MARY FOSTER (Aunt Eller) Her first appearance with WVLO, Mary is a Los Gatos resident involved with community functions. She is a columnist for the Los Gatos Times- Observer and does Mother Goose and other Santa characterizations in Old Town. She writes poetry and often recites with a local jazz band. She conducts workshops and poetry festivals at elementary schools and earlier this year appeared in Woody Allen's "God" at DeAnza College.

RICK FRANK (Jud) Rick goes back "on stage" this production after directing our last show, "Brigadoon," and assisting the director for "Camelot." Regular theater goers will remember him as Alfred P. Doolittle in "My Fair Lady," Edward Molton Barrett in "Robert & Elizabeth" and Emile DeBecque in "South Pacific." A man of many talents, Rick seems to be at his best in villainous roles which he has performed at Montalvo in "Night of The Demons" and "Dracula." A former disc jockey from New York, he is employed at Lockheed and enjoys theater involvement with his talented wife, Gayle. BRIAN THOMPSON (Jud) If you saw our last production of "Brigadoon," you will remember Brian as the Scottish father of the MacLaren clan. In this, his second role, he becomes a sinister and vengeful character. Most of Brian's forrner theatrical experience has been with Gilbert & Sullivan productions; "HMS Pinafore," "Pirates of Penzance," "Gondoliers," "Yeoman of the Guard," "Ruddigore," "Iolanthe," etc. However, he has played supporting roles in "Kiss Me, Kate," "Fiddler" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." Brian is a Systems Analyst with Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto.

MARK HEALY (Ali Hakim) Mark returns to WVLO after an absence of seven years. He moved to Arizona with his family five years ago, was recently transferred here in his position as Systems Analyst for a local electronics firm and will soon be transferring back to Arizona. Mark's theatrical career began very early in his life for he has appeared in over 55 musical productions including "West Side Story," "Fiddler on the Roof," "George M" and other productions of "Oklahoma!" We can only hope his company transfers him back again in the near futu rei

DENNIS ROSSOW (Ali Hakim) Dennis is making his Bay Area debut in our production having moved to San Jose from his native South Bend, Indiana in December. He received a BA degree in Theatre from Indiana University, where he had lead roles in "Charley's Aunt," "Travesties," "The Hostage," "The Real Inspector Hound" and others. He has also directed six shows, including "A Doll's House" and "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds." We certainly hope we have just seen the beginning of this versatile young man's career '" on our stage.

ELAINE BOSTWICK (Gertie) Elaine was in the first production of "Oklahoma!" that WVLO did back in 1964 and has considered our Association her second family ever since. She has worked on so many shows, she cannot remember tham all and has assisted in all phases of production from lighting, set construction, box office, and costumes to make-up and performing. Her major lead and supporting roles were in "King & I," "Wizard of Oz," "My Fair Lady," and "Gigi." Away from the theater, she works at Syntex in Palo Alto as a Research Animal Health Technician. Thanks for all your support, Elaine, but please don't laugh for us!

KATHLEEN BELLARDI (Gertie) This marks Kathy's first appearance with us, but she is no newcomer to theater. Previous experiences include the role of Gooch in CLO's "Mame," "Showboat':' SDG's "Kismet," and "Music Man." She studied vocal and instrumental music at San Jose State and works at Western Electric in Sunnyvale. Just smile, Kathy, that's all!

JAMES DIGGINS (Carnes) Regular members will remember Jim from two previous shows, "South Pacific" and "Paint Your Wagon" (where he first met a clarinetist, Chris Norby, and began a courtship which recently resulted in marriage and another WVLO romance ends happily). Also a talented lighting designer, he has done lighting for "Rose Marie," "Camelot," and "Strange Bedfellows." He also worked in "Pirates of Penzance," and is a member of the 'World's Only Two-Man Barbershop Quartet.' Jim holds a Masters Degree in Business Administration and works for DeBolt Civil Engineering in Danville. Best wishes, Jim and Chris, for a happy and successful life together.
