42nd Street (2005)

On March 10, 2005, Actorsingers lost our last charter member of the
organization, past president, dedicated supporter, dear friend, Albin “Al”
Tamulonis.

We are indebted to Al for his vision of bringing musical theatre to the
Nashua audience, and we will always be grateful to him for opening the
doors to so many artists eager to show their talents on stage or behind
the scenes, in the orchestra, or directing. Thank you, Al.

Our condolences to his loving wife, Penny, and the entire Tamulonis
family.

Notes from the Director

Welcome to 42nd Street — the well-known story of an enthusiastic chorus
girl from Smalltown USA who (almost!) auditions for her first New York show
and finds herself a Broadway star overnight! It is also the story of the
somewhat jaded and worn director of Pretty Lady, the fictional production within
the production of 42nd Street, who is touched by the pure joy and enthusiasm of
this young starlet and finds a renewed passion for his own love of musical
theater.

A very special thank you to Actorsingers for inviting me to share in the
telling of this special story and for giving me the opportunity to work with this
amazingly gifted cast and production team. You have made me feel most
welcome, and I am honored by your endless enthusiasm, dedication and
support!

Special heartfelt thanks to Martha, Kathy, Mike and Steve for making the
journey such a joy and the destination a Broadway dream come true. Not all the
specs of dust taht make a stage shine are found on stage!

And finally, thanks to YOU, the audience, for allowing us the opportunity to
do what we love best. So come and hear those dancin’ feet… on the avenue
we’re taking you to… 42nd Street!!

Enjoy the show!

Dana Bissett, Director
