Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program

Dear Friends, 

Good Evening, and welcome to the Peter Quince Performing Company's production of West Side Story. With this evening's performance, Peter Quince celebrates it's sixth season of presenting fine musical entertainment to the Manitowoc-Two Rivers area. 

Theatre has something very special to offer in every aspect of its production. There is a unique feeling that one gets as one becomes involved with a theatrical performance. Call it magic, call it dedication to a goal, call it anything, but what it all boils down to is a tremendous love for hard work, a love for theatre, and a love for each other. For as this statement may seem a bit unrealistic, it is never-the-less true. 

As the curtain rises this evening you will witness the culmination of many months of hard work by a great number of people involved with our organization, people of which I have been proud to associate with. This summer has been rather special for me as it is my last. I have finally reached the age of twenty-one years that all the Peter Quince members dread, for it is at this age that it becomes mandatory for us to retire. 

It would be impossible for me to thank all of you, our audience, for making this production possible. Out members will be thanked by your applause, more than you will even know. Our thanks to you will be in the form of a show we hope you will never forget. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy it. 

Thoman R. Berkedal
Chairman of the Board/Producer 


Director's Note from the program

"You gotta believe" is a phrase that has become popular recently. It is also the one phrase that perhaps most aptly describes Peter Quince. For us it has a double meaning, reflecting the participation in imagination vital to theatre as well as the inner strength that has enabled the Company to come so far. 

Five years ago the first "Quincers", starting from scratch, began to turn a dream into reality. Although others too were willing to take a risk on this new thing, most were not. The Company became its own best friend; its members looked inward and relied on each other for support, always believing in both themselves and their dream ... even when others would not. Even today, Quince must still prove itself. Through all this, however, Quincers have retained the same, strong belief that sparked our original success. 

Theatre, of source, also requires a very different belief: audience and performers must not only be able to concieve of a place and people unlike that around them, they both must be willing to accept that created reality. Believing this way opens one to ideas and experiences not always seen (or not possible) in everyday life. 

To believe in yourself and the "illogical" world of fiction is a rare coupling. It has created the spirit that has made Peter Quince a singular organization of which I am very proud.

Orchestra Director's Note from the program

For everyone involved, "West Side Story" posed a challenge and required hard work in its preparation. The music was no exception as this show was one of the hardest to appear on Broadway. This year's orchestra is comprised of kids ranging in age from junior high to college and whose interests vary greatly--tennis, music, baseball, bowling, swimming, and many, many, many others. But they have combined their musical talent and efforts to come up with what we hope will add to the success of the show. They all spent a great deal of time rehearsing their music, and it has been a very exciting privilege for me to work with a group of kids who were so very interested in making their orchestra a fine one. Their cooperation with me was most gratifying and I must thank them for a most enjoyable summer.
