From the President... If you have a friend or family member who is an actor, you are all too familiar with the phrase “I can’t, I have rehearsal.” If you know someone who is a light or sound person, you know not to bother asking them to do anything until after the run of the show. I have often heard people in the lobby ask one another “How do they remember all of those lines?” The answer is actually quite simple, dedication. Actors, techs, costume, prop people, and just about everyone in the community theatre family is committed to the show. Yes, they want their show to shine and they want to do well. But they don’t want to let their cast or crew mates down, or the director, or you, our audience. This season we’ve had an actress sacrifice her husband’s 75th birthday and his college reunion to perform a role. Many nights you will see cars parked in our lot overnight so that a set can be built or painted, or so another project can be checked off of the list. We’ve had couples plan their weddings so they don’t interfere with the theatre season. Pregnancies have been planned around shows. People have performed while they are injured, bleeding, or so sick that there were buckets placed off stage for them, just in case. The old adage, “The show must go on,” comes from the very real experience of thespians the world over. Professional actors may be lucky enough to be paid a living wage for treading the boards. In community theatre, our actors have the added complication of day jobs. The last show I did, I recorded the dialog onto my iPod and listened to it on my commute to help me memorize the show. All of us, however, stay up long past our normal bedtimes to agonize over the script, and try to remember all of the notes that we were given, and incorporate it all into tomorrow’s rehearsal. It is stressful, exhausting, and unbelievably rewarding. There are another group of committed people, without whom, none of this would be possible. You. You give us a purpose to rehearse, to memorize, to push ourselves, and (speaking for the theatre) a reason to exist. Your participation in the theatre experience is our reward, and what makes all of the stress worthwhile. Your financial committment allows us to improve the experience for everyone; whether it’s new seats, new A/C, a fresh coat of paint, or a renovation project. So on behalf of the actors, techs, board, and volunteers of The Village Players; thank you for your committment to our passion, and for allowing us to do our very best to entertain you. It has been our pleasure to bring the theatrical arts to the Toledo community for the past 59 seasons. Now, on with the show! Jake Gordy President

TRANSCRIPT

From the President...If you have a friend or family member who is an actor, you are all too familiar with the phrase “I can’t, I have rehearsal.” If you know someone who is a light or sound person, you know not to bother asking them to do anything until after the run of the show. I have often heard people in the lobby ask one another “How do they remember all of those lines?” The answer is actually quite simple, dedication. Actors, techs, costume, prop people, and just about everyone in the community theatre family is committed to the show. Yes, they want their show to shine and they want to do well. But they don’t want to let their cast or crew mates down, or the director, or you, our audience.

This season we’ve had an actress sacrifice her husband’s 75th birthday and his college reunion to perform a role. Many nights you will see cars parked in our lot overnight so that a set can be built or painted, or so another project can be checked off of the list. We’ve had couples plan their weddings so they don’t interfere with the theatre season. Pregnancies have been planned around shows. People have performed while they are injured, bleeding, or so sick that there were buckets placed off stage for them, just in case. The old adage, “The show must go on,” comes from the very real experience of thespians the world over.

Professional actors may be lucky enough to be paid a living wage for treading the boards. In community theatre, our actors have the added complication of day jobs. The last show I did, I recorded the dialog onto my iPod and listened to it on my commute to help me memorize the show. All of us, however, stay up long past our normal bedtimes to agonize over the script, and try to remember all of the notes that we were given, and incorporate it all into tomorrow’s rehearsal. It is stressful, exhausting, and unbelievably rewarding.

There are another group of committed people, without whom, none of this would be possible. You. You give us a purpose to rehearse, to memorize, to push ourselves, and (speaking for the theatre) a reason to exist. Your participation in the theatre experience is our reward, and what makes all of the stress worthwhile. Your financial committment allows us to improve the experience for everyone; whether it’s new seats, new A/C, a fresh coat of paint, or a renovation project.

So on behalf of the actors, techs, board, and volunteers of The Village Players; thank you for your committment to our passion, and for allowing us to do our very best to entertain you. It has been our pleasure to bring the theatrical arts to the Toledo community for the past 59 seasons.

Now, on with the show!

As a writer, Bill’s plays have been produced in New York and the San Francsico Bay Area. On camera, he has appeared in the HBO series OZ and in various independent

films and industrial presentations. As a stage actor, Bill has appeared in over 150 productions, including several world premieres across the country. Bill recently directed Bakersfield Mist and played a role in Other Desert Cities for Actors Collaborative Theatre. At The Village Players, he appeared as Wilfred Bond in Quartet and James in this year’s Circle Mirror Transformation. Bill is also an accomplished teacher and coach. He is a member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Union (SDC) and The Dramatists Guild. Thanks to Katie and Conor, Dramatists Guild. Thanks to Katie and Conor, Andrew, Dawn, Bridget, Natalie and Erin.

Heidi Clausius (Musical Director) is a classically trained vocal coach and chamber musician. Returning to music full time after leaving an 18 year career in real estate, she recently had the opportunity to pursue her Master’s Degree in Collaborative Piano Performance from BGSU. Heidi’s first experience playing musical theatre was for

Young Frankenstein in 2014. Tomfoolery is her first crack as music director. She loves the diversity of the songs and humor in this production. Her favorite aspect of the show is in the musical partnering between her and her fabulous cast members. A native of Toledo, Heidi is married to Jeff, has a daughter who studies fashion design in NYC, and a son who attends Sylvania Southview. She maintains a private piano studio in her home and is preparing her first solo recital in over 26 years. It will be presented at the University of Toledo in November 2016.

Katherine Swartzbeck (Stage Manager) is excited to be a part of Tomfoolery! She is a junior at Perrysburg High School and enjoys figure skating. Katherine has been the stage manager at Perrysburg High School for Kong’s Night Out, the Winter One Acts 2016, and at the Toledo Repertoire Theatre for their production of Picnic. Some

of her favorite backstage credits include Rumors, West Side Story, and Mary Poppins from Perrysburg High School, as well as The Sound of Music, and Shrek the Musical with Perrysburg Musical Theatre. This is her first show with The Village Players and she would like to thank everyone for making her feel welcome. She hopes that the audience is ‘prepared’ for a night of fun!

Production Staff

Laura Crawford has been performing at The Village Players since its 54th Season, appearing as Tempura in the musical Adrift In Macao. Since then, she’s sung on The Village stage in [title of show] as Susan, Clue! The Musical as The Detective, and most recently in The Toledo Rep’s The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee as

Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre. Laura is also involved deeply behind the scenes, serving as a sound designer/tech, running crew, and assistant director for various productions. Laura would like to remind the audience that all of the opinions espoused here should be listened to with tongue firmly planted in cheek, and are not necessarily those of the performers. (Except for that “Pigeons” bit. That could be fun.)

Lane Hakel is happy to be back at The Village and singing songs he has known since he was a kid. Last seen here in the Norm Foster plays Looking and The Love List, Lane is a multi-Northwest OCTA award winning actor that has been appearing on NWOhio stages regularly for the past 15 years. Favorite roles include John Adams in

1776 with F.U.M., Charlie in The Foreigner, Jack/Stephanie in Leading Ladies, and Lloyd in Noises Off, all at The Rep, and as the title character in The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon with his home theater, The Black Swamp Players in Bowling Green. Lane thanks Bill and Heidi for this opportunity to relive a part of his childhood.

Robert Holdren is 30 years old. Tomfoolery will be his first show with The Village Players. He has acted and sung in 4 shows with Oregon Community Theatre. He was Grantaire in Les Miserable. Also, he played Sir Dennis Galahad, and a cameo as the Black Knight in Monty Python’s Spamalot. Also, this past spring he played multiple

characters in Forbidden Broadway. In the last show OCT presented, Moonlight and Magnolias, Robert got to see the backstage life as stage manager. Also he has performed in the Waite High School show choir, Concert (Honors), And Men’s chorus for 4 years. Robert was also part of the chorus for a production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Peristyle with the Lutheran churches. He like to thank his family for their tremendous support with this endeavor. He would like to thank Bill Quinlan and The Village Players for the opportunity to do this amazing show.

Jill Reinstein is thrilled to be making her Village Players debut in Tomfoolery. She most recently played Yente in Fiddler on the Roof with the Epiphany Players, and sang the role of Olive’s Mom at the Toledo Rep in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Jill has also worked with the Oregon Community Theatre in Shrek, Forbidden

Broadway, and Spamalot. Jill works at the Valentine Theater box office and works with the Young Rep as a director. Thanks to my family and friends for their love and support. Thanks to Bill, Bobby, Heidi, Lane and Laura for helping me laugh the dust of winter away. And thank you to all of The Village Players family for letting my come over and play at your house!

the Village PlayerS’ Story

Fifty-nine years ago, there was a lot going on in our country. Eisenhower was president. Elvis Presley entered the US music charts with Hearbreak Hotel and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time. Norma Jean Mortenson legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 500 for the first time. My Fair Lady opened on Broadway. As the World Turns aired its first episode. GE brought out the first snooze alarm clock. The Interstate Highway System was created. “In God We Trust” became the US national motto by a joint resolution of Congress and signed by Ike. The Wizard of Oz was shown on TV for the first time. Bob Barker made his debut as the host of the game show Truth or Consequences. The Cold War was ongoing.

Meanwhile, here in the Toledo area, a volunteer group of directors, actors, technicians, and involved citizens met in Ottawa Hills to begin the founding of a new community theatre. Using the multipurpose room of the Ottawa Hills High School, The Village Players put on its first production in March, 1957, of The Great Sebastians. A nonprofit charter from the State of Ohio was issued to The Village Players in June of 1958. Not having a home of its own, the theatre’s plays were put on in various venues, including a tent erected at Bancroft and Richards. Then in 1961, the Board of Directors purchased the former First Unity Church at 2740 Upton Avenue in Toledo and this has remained its permanent home.

The Village Players theatre has remained an all-volunteer theatre. Through the purchase of season memberships, monies raised from Sold Houses and other cash donations , the Board has continued to be prudent stewards of its monies to improve the facilities to enhance your theatre experience. We only undertake a project if the cash is on hand to fund it. Our next major project is to raise $23,000 to upgrade the stage lighting and the light board. We thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

There is no reason for the theatre to exist outside of providing you, our cherished patron, with an enjoyable theatre experience. To this end, please let us know how we may improve.

The lights will be dimming shortly, so sit back and be open to a new theatre experience, one that may be comedic, dramatic, mysterious, musical, or challenging.

Our 2015–2016 59th Season!

Tomfoolery (Musical Comedy)Music and Lyrics by Tom Lehrer Adapted by Cameron Mackintosh and Robin Ray Musical Arrangements by Chris Walker and Robert FisherDirected by: Bill QuinlanMay 6 - 21, 2016MTI - Music Theatre International

Based on The Tom Lehrer Songbook, and a show like no other. Written by Cameron Mackintosh and Robin Ray, with music and lyrics by Tom Lehrer, this is one wildly wicked musical revue of novelty songs (there are no sad ones in this bunch). Music, laughter, and no one spared—when you’re dealing with the humor of Tom Lehrer, nothing is sacred.

Announcing our 2016–2017 60th Season!Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike (Comedy)by Christopher DurangDirected by: Jeffrey J. AlbrightDramatists

Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.

An Empty Plate at the Café du Grand Boeuf (Comedy)by Michael HollingerDirected by: Barbara BarkanDramatists

Antoine is a brand new waiter at the most luxurious restaurant in Paris. Claude, the head waiter, is trying to train him and starts with “We have everything!” Mimi waits tables in the hopes that Claude will remember the passion they once had. And Gaston, the maniacle master chef, just wants to cook. All are waiting for the arrival of Monsieur Victor, the restaurant’s owner, and sole patron. Upon his arrival he is disheveled, morose, just home from the bullfights in Madrid, and his only wish is to die of starvation. After much pleading from the staff, Victor concedes to a final meal with the proviso that he is not served one morsel of food, but a “feast of adjectives and adverbs.” What follows is a repast celebrating the joys of cooking, sex, bullfighting and the collected works of Ernest Hemingway.

Angel Street (Mystery)by Patrick HamiltonDirected by: Carol Ann ErfordSamuel French, Inc.

A Broadway hit first produced on the West End under the title Gaslight and filmed twice, Angel Street tells the story of the Manninghams who live on Angel Street in 19th Century London. As the curtain rises, all appears the essence of Victorian tranquility. It is soon apparent however, that Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his gentle, devoted wife Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness which masks more sinsister motives. While he is out, Mrs. Manningham has an unexpected caller: amiable, paternal Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard. Rough is convinced that Manningham is a homicidal maniac wanted for a murder committed fifteen years earlier in this very house. Gradually the inspector restores Bella’s confidence in herself and as the evidence against Manningham unfolds, the author has built and sustained some of the most brilliant, suspenseful sequences in modern theatre.

The Odd Couple (Comedy)by Neil SimonDirected by: John HenrySamuel French, Inc.

There are some characters that have transcended the stage and made their way into the psyche of people everywhere. Two such are Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison. Before Tony Randall and Jack Klugman brought them to television in the 1970’s, Neil Simon brought them to Broadway in 1965, but their story and relationship are timeless. Felix is a fastidious neat-freak news writer who has been thrown out by his wife. He moves in with his friend Oscar, the sports writer, who is recently divorced and a consummate slob. The show begins at a friendly card game, and Simon’s unmatched humor takes over. The Odd Couple was voted, by Village audiences, as the “Fan Favorite” of our last 60 years. Since we’re turning 60, all tickets to this production will be “Senior Discounted!”

Putting it Together (Musical)Words and Music by Stephen SondheimDirected by: Laura CrawfordMusic Theatre International

A married couple decides to throw a dinner party and invite a coworker and his date. An unexpected guest appears and provides a running commentary on the action that is to come. This is the framework for a musical review that takes us through the musical career of arguably one of the greatest minds in American musical theatre, Stephen Sondheim. With songs from A Little Night Music, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Follies, and many of his other productions that have been performed at The Village Players, and on stages around the world; we guarantee that you will leave the theatre with a spring in your step and a song in your heart.
