Program Notes
Producer's Note from the program

Good Evening! 

As the curtain opens tonight, you are embarking upon a voyage to a place farther away than even distance can measure. 

With the stage as your window, the theatre as your carriage, and your imagination at the reins, let us take you to New York City, in the year 1944. 

The view through your window will transverse not merely distance, but time and reality. Yet the view through any window only reveals what is on the other side. What you will see might be mistaken for the transformation of wood, muslin, and paint into plaster and brick, remnants into flashy costumes, a teenager into an old man, or the lines of an endless script into sincere expressions of emotion. However, to actually do so would render the voyage only fleeting images on the back of one's mind, to fade as the window grows dark and the carriage slows to a halt. 

This evening, let your imagination place you in the shoes of one of those characters on the other side of your window, and see if you cannot make the journey to New York with us, but from our side of the window, seeing you. The voyage would be a wonderful experience never to be forgotten! 

That is the essence of theatre. When the performers and audience become one, feeling and sharing together, the window becomes a mirror in which we see ourselves, as well as those on the other side. 

Thank you for making the voyage with us, It never could have been possible without you! 

Mark R. Graupman
Producer/Chairman of the Board 

Director's Note from the program

As the three sailors have only one day to savor the sights, lights, and nights of New York City, we have only one evening to share with you our work of eight weeks. Our rehearsals in the past weeks have been a unique kind of show in themselves - but not always the bright comedy of ON THE TOWN. Behind this performance lie many tears of laughter, beads of perspiration, sighs of frustration, and frowns of anger. Yet the pain or pleasure of these moments become incidental to the richness of the experience. 

Tonight we attempt to bring forth the vivid spirit of our experience for you to share and enjoy and, hopefully, from which you may also gain. You come together this evening with a common purpose and interest just as do we. A sociability exists within the community you as individual viewers create that parallels the unity we've been working towards as people and as actors, technicians, singers, dancers, and musicians. Thus, we ask you, our audience, to join us in putting the finishing touches on our show tonight. Fifty percent of a performance is attributed to the spectators, their presence and reactions. With the fusion of actors and audience comes a complete production 

Thank you for your participation. 

Elizabeth M. Childs
General Director ​
