She strongly advises you to sit back, relax and leave your troubles behind, as you will now enter River City! Enjoy the show!
JULIA FLYNN MARIAN PAROO Julia was beyond thrilled to get the role of Marian in The Music Man and absolutely fell in love with the character.

Julia would like to thank the wonderful Mr. C and her marvelous parents, to whom she owes everything. Theater is Julia’s absolute passion because of the lovely simplicity of playing pretend. She will be studying theater in Washington, D.C., next year at Catholic University.

Being a part of the productions for the last two years have changed her life and she wants to thank everyone involved in the Drama department with all of her heart. She would like to thank everyone for coming to see the show – and she hopes that they enjoy every part of the production! Thank you to Mr. C for all of his hard work in directing this show, and to her Drama family who have encouraged her through every single day. She is blessed by her family and friends, and thanks the Lord for each day that she can spend in helping to create this show and pass on a love for theater. Enjoy the show!

IVY TAYRIEN REHEARSAL ASSISTANT Ivy has been involved with Drama Productions for two years now. Since this is her senior year, experiencing all of the wonderful moments are bittersweet. Drama has made high school so memorable, and she plans to carry her love of theater into her college. Ivy would first like to thank her loving, sensational, and supportive parents; they are the best she could ever ask for. Last, but certainly not least, she thanks her two other biggest supporters, Anna and Willie. They have given her so much love, joy, and hope for the past two years, and she cannot thank them enough. Ivy loves every member of her drama family, past and present, and will appreciate all of the memorable moments they have given to her for the rest of her life.

SPECIAL THANKS
“YOU MUST FIND THE NOTE, THE CORRECT KEY, FOR YOUR STORY. IF YOU FIND IT, EVERYTHING WILL WORK. IF YOU DO NOT, EVERYTHING WILL STICK OUT LIKE ELBOWS.”
– Louis Malle, on directing
8
The performance you see tonight is the end result of rejecting or embracing a series of choices. At each step, the theater artist must decide what is true and what is not. The closer to the truth the artist gets, the better the play becomes. The cast has worked very hard to find the right note of truth for this show. Any elbows sticking out are completely my fault. Tonight’s show would have been impossible without the dedicated, tireless support of the Drama Boosters and my fellow arts teachers. These devoted community members are the friends and neighbors who step forward to do all the Herculean tasks necessary to mount a musical theatre production. San Clemente is blessed to have people who want nothing more than to make sure that the arts continue to flourish. While these few are acknowledged, every single parent made a significant contribution. – David Czarnecki
Tod Kubo, Jocelyn Dietsche and Tony Soto for preparing the cast in what makes a musical a musical. Their professionalism and kindness gives the show its beating, lyrical heart. Hilary Perry, Tina Klatt, Vicki Corbett and Debbie Cappon for taking on the huge task of costuming, creating hair and makeup designs and making sure that the entire cast looks authentic and consistent with their characters. Their attention to detail is a difficult path to walk, but produces magic. Paul Turney, Tom Porter, Heidi MacDonald of Creative Art Design and Linda Fry for taking the scenic design of the play and breathing life into the visual pictures you see tonight. Their creativity and diligence bring River City to life. Paul Gadebusch and Alex Difante. Creating mood with light and making sure every word is heard could not be more important for the success of the show. Their aesthetic choices and precise delivery create the atmosphere needed for the show to exist. Shauna Hull and the prop crew for finding, rejecting and then finding something else that fits the period and budget. They care about the smallest detail, all for the good of the show. Pam Marshak for the “hard goods” – the program, posters, flyers, bookmarks – and Terri Steel for reaching out to the community. Their attention to detail and creative solutions bring our show to a wider audience. Tomi Ivie and Pam Klevit for making sure the box office runs well and taking care of our most important collaborator: the audience. Valerie Flynn and Julie Strope, who feed the cast during our long rehearsals and make sure that there 14 0
SPECIAL THANKS are goodies aplenty for the audience as well. Melissa Shea for her assistance with publicity, Wes and Sandy Howrey for help with props and Karen Oliver for proofreading the program. Deb Adams for keeping us on time and on budget. She is the repository of knowledge for the Drama program and a great asset to the team. Vicki Corbett and Shauna Hull for their commitment to the Drama Boosters and the Drama program at San Clemente, for being wise counselors and for bringing light into dark times. The crew of The Music Man. These students work to make all the technical elements of the play come together at just the right time. The crew is really the magic behind the scenes that makes the magic happen in the light. Willie Porter and Anna Klevit, who are wise and capable beyond their years. It has been an honor to work with these two dedicated professionals. If the show has a guiding intelligence, it is theirs. Finally, to the students, parents, teachers and administrators at San Clemente High School who have supported me, encouraged me, and joined me on my journey. It was your strength that sustained me during difficult times. My eternal thanks. SCHS Drama offers its heartfelt thanks to our community for its support and to the following individuals and businesses for their generous donation of time and materials: ALBERTSONS for helping stock our snack bar ADELE’S for her delicious contributions to the Drama program EL CAMINO REAL PLAYHOUSE & FULLERTON COLLEGE for the loan of props

Ever wonder how the show comes together? Take a (brief) peek at the process and what happens behind the scenes in our special feature
THE MAKING OF THE MUSICAL
It all starts a with a big decision: which show to do. Then we buy the rights to the script and music. The cost varies by show – $2,686 for Fiddler on the Roof and $3,850 for The Music Man. It’s the first of our big expenses for the musical. oh, WE got

While cast members began learning lines, Mr. C figured out how to turn the Triton Center into River City. We did this show before so we had the storefronts and the forest backdrop (we recycle everything possible). Alum dad Paul Turney and volunteer dad Tom Porter built the bridge, the wagons, the benches and a bunch of other set pieces. 16 0
Song and dance are the heart of a musical, so to choreograph the show we hired long-time SCHS supporter Tod Kubo, who flew in from New York to work with the kids. Lace up your shoes when Tod arrives, the dance intensive is about to begin ... SCHS choral director Jocelyn Dietsche stepped up to make sure the actors sound as good as they look and act. Under her tutelage we know they will hit their notes with grace and confidence. River City revisited; these charming storefronts were created when we did The Music Man in 2006.
Mr. C explains a scenario during the photo shoot; he sets the tone for the show. Keeping costume pieces together is nothing short of a monumental task! Sometime early in the process we have to take photos to publicize the show. Professional photographer Kelly Mitchell donated his time to shoot a few hundred (577 to be exact) photos that we used for a multitude of posters, online and for the program; he does this for us every year and also takes the kids’ head shots. Mr. C was joined by the chairs of costuming, hair, makeup, publicity and programs, and some of their crew members, in the effort to turn 20+ students into their characters. He then placed them in various scenarios so Kelly could capture images that would help us fill the seats every night. It’s hard work - but lots of fun! The barbershop quartet serenaded everyone and students recited lines to get into character.
Costume chair Hilary Perry and a group of volunteers drove to The Theater Company in Upland the Friday before the shoot to pick up everything from feathered hats to plaid suits. We rented some 120 costumes for the show, including: more than 40 hats, 14 pairs of gloves, 35 bow ties and more than 30 pairs of bloomers! We borrowed old band uniforms from Mr. Soto and volunteers sewed “RC” (River City) patches over the Triton logo. The hair and makeup crews spent hours turning teenagers into the citizens of River City circa 1913. Alum mom Tina Klatt (she’s been involved since 2006 and is an SCHS grad!) and Booster President Vicki Corbett led the effort. We used 7 professionally styled wigs and lots of hairspray to create their early-20th century ’dos. That’s Tina with one of the wigs with ringlet curls and Meghan Cappon becoming Eulalie Shin.

Heidi and Linda’s detailed touches add realism to the set. Although we had scenery from the last time we did the show, there was still painting and set decorating to be done. While volunteers did much of the basic work, we hired pros Heidi MacDonald, Maili Rohner and Linda Fry to freshen up River City, paint the new construction (check out those library books!) and bring the town to life. 18 0
Among the bravest of the volunteers is whomever steps up to become Props chair - a truly daunting task. For this show, it was Shauna Hull; her mission included finding 4 trombones, 3 trumpets, a flute, a clarinet and a tuba. What else was on her list? A faux piano, a pitchfork, something to make a firecracker noise (listen for a starter pistol) and Marian’s library stamp, which was made out of a chair leg!
it all comes together when we PUT ON THE SHOW!
If you can’t SEE the show or HEAR it, would you know it was going on? Long time lighting pro Paul Gadebusch works with his crew to visually set the mood while senior Alex DiFante and his crew tape mics on the actors and use our old school (to put it mildly!) soundboard to ensure you can hear their lines and enjoy their songs.
Practice makes perfect, so the students rehearse, rehearse rehearse - and then rehearse some more. Blocking is nailed down, sets are speedily changed and cues are memorized. Actors spend about 200 hours in rehearsal and the technical crews join in during Tech Week. Everyone focuses on a common goal: getting it right on opening night. Do things go awry? Every night. It’s not called “drama” for nothing!
d
We printed 1,872 tickets for the musical; Box office chair Tomi Ivie coordinated their printing and the volunteers who sold them. The students who collected your ticket are the house staff. They welcome audience members to each show and give out the 1,200 programs we had printed.
Other schools hire professionals to play during their musicals SCHS is one of the few to incorporate a live student orchestra! Mr. Soto’s 20 musicians fill the Triton Center with energy, emotion and excitement – and their efforts provide a tremendous cost savings to the program.
We have spotlighted a few people in these pages, but can’t begin to list all the folks who make the show happen – so forgive us for everyone we have left out. In addition to the actors, crew members and musicians who work so hard, we offer a standing ovation to the parents who man the box office and snack bar, feed students during rehearsals, track down props & costumes, paint, sew, style and do a myriad of other things without which the musical you are seeing tonight could not exist. So enjoy the fruits of their labors and know it was all done for the love of the amazing SCHS Drama program! 19 0
