In the last newsletter, it was announced that the next highest vote getter
will complete Sheila Hartsel's term. That name was being withheld until they
could be contacted and asked if they would like to fulfill the term. We are
happy to report that Jennifer McAdams has accepted the position. Her name
and email are now listed above. Jen recently got married and I will let you
know if any of her contact information has changed if I hear otherwise.
MGP Loss
Joyce Friedel
passed away on June 20th after a brief illness. She participated in MGP in
68, 71, 74, and 75. Her husband, David Friedel has particpated more recently,
having been in the productions of 98-07. Friends may call Monday, June 23,
2008 from 4 to 8 P.M. in the Gluvna-Shimo-Hromada Funeral Chapel, 3224 Broadway
Avenue, Lorain, where a Pomen service will be conducted at 6 P.M. Additional
visitation will be observed in Saint George Serbian Orthodox Church Tuesday,
June 24, 2008 from 9:30 A.M.until time of services at 10 A.M. The Reverend
Milorad Orlich, Pastor of the church, will preside. Burial will follow in
Elmwood Cemetery, Lorain. The family encourages memorial contributions to
the Handi-Camp of Avon Lake or to the charity of the donor's choice.
Ragtime
The production staff for "Ragtime" recently attended a production of the show
in Akron to become more familiar with the plot and story line. Another production
will occur at the Players Guild in Canton on August 15-30. Put it on your
calendar if you'd like to know more about this musical. There are no videos
available in the stores. However, you can purchase a soundtrack of the musical.
After much negotiating, our show dates have finally been set. At first we
were given the last 2 weekends of March. Then, it was changed to the last
weekend of March/first weekend of April. Then, it was changed to the last
weekend of April/first weekend of May! Finally, after our producer, board
president, drama director and music director sat down with the superintendant,
the following dates were chosen: February 27, 28, March 1, 6, 7. Dinner theatre
will be Saturday, February 28. The 50th Anniversary Celebration will be after
the matinee on Sunday, March 1. Double Run Sunday will have to become a Double
Run Saturday (Feb 21) as there is a major conflict with Sunday. Due to the
earliest dates in our 50 year history, we will need to add a few rehearsals
to the traditional Friday night only schedule. There will be 3-4 additional
rehearsals on Sunday afternoons. Time and place TBA. These rehearsals will
NOT be on holiday weekends (Martin Luther King and President's Day). Once
our dates and locations are set, you will be able to access them on our website.
PLEASE PUT THIS UPDATED INFO ON YOUR 2009 CALENDAR!!
Homecoming
Homecoming will be October 3, 4, 5. MGP usually has a float in the parade
and a booth in the gym. Last year, Revisted was 'resurrected' and there is
talk of doing it again. Usually, we have 6-8 volunteers walk the parade on
Saturday. It would be TERRIFIC if we could have FIFTY volunteers to represent
each of the 50 shows in MGP's history. If we could even get 25, each person
could represent 2 shows with program covers on the front and back like a sandwich
board. It's really early to make these decisions, but, put it on your calendar
and PLEASE consider it. It's great exercise!
Producer
Our Producer, Kathy Snezek, is looking for an assistant producer. The candidate
for this position would then take over as producer in 2010. Anyone interested
in being the next producer of MGP needs to understand that this position is
not just a December-March job. If you would like to learn more about the job
and all it entails, now would be the time to get informed! Please contact
Kathy if you are interested.

Board Meeting
MGP Board met tonight (Tuesday the 13th) and received two letters. Ray Ewers
and Sheila Hartsel have resigned from the board. Below is the text from Ray
Ewers letter. He requested his letter be published to the bundle:
"As you are aware, Mayra and I started a theatre production company late last
year. Productions, however, were put on hold pending an opinion by the Ohio
Supreme Court as to whether I was permitted to manage such a venture. Recently,
the Supreme Court issued its opinion and gave me the green light to do so.
Although, I am elated with their decision, I am saddened because my time,
already scarce, will be consumed with this endeavor. As such, and with much
regret, I feel that it is in the best interest of all involved that I step
down as a MGP board member effective immediately. I have enjoyed my time participating/serving
on the Board with not only people I consider fellow board members but people
I consider my very dear friends. Good luck and God Bless to the Board and
the MGP family. I love you all. Sincerely, Raymond J. Ewers."
According to the bylaws, any time a board member needs to be replaced, it goes to the next highest vote getter. Lynn Maslinski has accepted the position as board member and will complete Ray's term. The next highest vote getter will complete Sheila's term. That name is being withheld until they can be contacted and asked if they would like to fulfill the term. The only other item on the agenda for the May meeting was picking the 50th anniversary show. For various reasons, the 5 suggested shows were narrowed down to two. Bernadette Hisey presented "Ragtime" and Doug Warnke presented "Li'l Abner". The board chose to go with "Ragtime". Anyone interested in seeing a production of this show might want to catch it in Akron in June. Weathervane Theatre will be producing the show June 4-29. Their website is www.weathervaneplayhouse.com The next board meeting will be Tuesday, August 12 at 7:00 at the Avon Lake Public Library.

Board Meeting Report
The Board met Tuesday night and discussed the following: Sandi Gerhan has
accepted the post of assistant treasurer Choice of dates to submit to the
school calendar for 50th anniversary show - Easter is April 12 in 2009. Dates
we will be submitting for approval are 1st choice: opening night March 27th.
2nd choice: opening night March 20th. Possible shows to perform for the 50th
anniversary show - Shows submitted: Grease, Li'l Abner, Ragtime, Show Boat,
Sound of Music How to survey the MGP family at large for their opinion on
which show to do - The board decided it would be good to get the opinion of
our audience as well as MGP members. There will be a separate table set up
in the lobby for audience members to 'voice their opinion' on what show we
should do for our 50th. Many MGP alumni come to the shows and we do not have
all of their addresses. Our email bundle is only of the members from the last
5 years. Sending 'snail mail' to all 2000 members is costly. We will send
snail mail surveys to those 'out of town'.
Pirates Promotion
The best ticket sales come from word of mouth. We're hoping all of you in
MGP email land will come to see the show and bring friends!! Any financial
support through patronage or ads would be greatly appreciated as well! Please
reply to this email with your questions for advertising by March 20th. Hopefully
you have noticed the signs up around the busy street corners of Avon Lake.
If you happen to notice one knocked down by inclement weather, please take
a moment to set it back up! The leads will be performing for Main Street Elyria
on Saturday, March 29th. The event takes place at Elyria's City Hall which
was once an opera house (in which the Pirates of Penzance was performed 3
times). The entire event is themed in the 1890-1900 era. We are the entertainment
that closes the event. Go to www.mainstreetelyria
and click on Incentives and Resources. Download the invite for "They Called
it Vaudeville".
Pirates Costume Needs
I am in need of the aprons and mop hats used in Titanic. If anyone still has
theirs, can I borrow them? Joann Sarvas, costumer MGP Loss I just learned
at the board meeting of another
MGP loss.
Dorothea Peters passed away about 3 weeks ago. She was involved with MGP in
67, 74-82 and 87. Her husband, Bob Peters, was involved with MGP 67-83, 85,
& 87 including 3 years as producer. Paul Peters (I believe is the son of Dorothea
and Bob) was in MGP in 78-81
A Note From Joe LeChaix
Joe LeChaix was the first producer of MGP. He sent this note after reading
the February newsletter. Another major "passing of time"--the 50th Anniversary
production in '09!!!!!!!!! That is UNREAL! And here's another---our "Entertainers"
will be putting on our 30th Anniversary production this spring, and I'm only
89? 50 and add 30 --how can that be? ( I know, I know). Congratulations to
all MGP'ers wherever they are--OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Little did we know! Many
thanks for keeping Barb & I on your mailing list--we are deeply honored!....

Bulletin Board?
I was asked to post this announcement on our bulletin board. I guess this
newsletter is the best I can do! Lorain Community Music Theater (LCMT) will
have auditions for "Beauty and the Beast" on the following days: April 4 7:00-9:00,
April 5 1:00-4:00, April 6 2:00-4:00. Their show dates will be July 11, 12,
13, 18, 19. Many MGPers are a part of LCMT. If you're not involved in it,
I'm sure there will be familiar faces to see come this July.

are not involved in the show will come and support us! You can buy a ticket
and/or you can submit an ad or sponsorship. Attached are documents in pdf
format if you'd like to help our cause. You're all alumni of this group and
you know how important it is for us to raise enough funds to pay our bills
and then have a profit to turn over to the band, choir, and drama departments.
Something new this year. If you have an ad in our program, we can put your
website link on a 'Patron' page in our MGP website - for free - for a year.
We will also post all advertisers/patrons on an alphabetical list in the lobby
of the theatre. Please consider supporting us!! SET CONSTRUCTION will begin
next week on Tuesday, February 26 at 6:30. We need all hands!!! The major
staircase piece needs to be built by Friday, February 29th!!!!!
Show/Director Candidates
People are already discussing the 50th anniversary show in 2009!!! The board
would like to compile a list of directors interested in directing as well
as the show(s) they would like to direct. This information needs to be compiled
before their next meeting on March 11. Once the information is gathered, the
board will discuss which shows they think will "fit" MGP (i.e. it would be
pretty difficult for us to do "Grease".) Then, the shows will be presented
to the MGP community to vote for while voting for new board members during
the run of the show. Information about the shows selected will go out in the
next newsletter so that you can make a more informed decision. Anyone who
would like to direct the 50th anniversary show should submit their name and
show(s) to Board President, Beth VanHorn. Please include a synopsis of the
show to be used in the next email newsletter.

earns a penny. You don't have to shop. Just use it to open your email! What
a simple way to earn money for MGP. Tell your friends!
Treasurer
The MGP Board is taking 'applications' for assistant treasurer. This job entails
keeping track of the expenditures, which is frequent during the rehearsal
season. The records need to be kept in a line-item format that is compatible
with the Avon Lake Board of Education expectations. The position is appointed
by the Board. If you are interested in applying, contact Beth VanHorn, Board
President (email listed at the top of this newsletter). So far, two people
have expressed interest in this position. The board postponed any decisions
until January in case there are other interested parties that may step forward
during rehearsals.
Pirates of Penzance
Cast Rehearsals have started and the energy is amazing! This Friday is your
last chance to sign up for the season. No new chorus members will be accepted
after the 18th of January. So, if you're still thinkin' about it - think fast!
There is one change in our cast list. Kevin Joseph Kelly was cast as our Major
General but had to decline due to conflicts with a new job he was just hired
for. We'll miss having the opportunity of working with Kevin. Perhaps in some
future show.... Fear not, though MGPers. We have a new Major General. Make
sure you welcome Douglas Collier at rehearsal this Friday!
Attendance Policy
MGP didn't used to have to state an attendance policy, but times have changed.
In the 'old days', perfect attendance was a given. In the 'present days',
some members have been known to miss 2, 3, even 4 rehearsals. As the director
this year, I would like to say there are no conflicts that are acceptable
except a death in the family. High School students who perform in band/choir
contest have no control over when they will compete. We support the ALHS performing
arts and school comes first. That's the only other conflict I can think of.
I have turned many chorus people and leads away because they told me up front
they would miss 3 times. Think about it. If there are 60 people in the company
and all of them have 3 conflicts, that's 180 conflicts. There are only 11
Fridays before tech week. This makes it impossible to run a complete rehearsal.
Every person will have an assigned spot and an assigned partner. By missing
rehearsal, it's not fair to the company, especially your partner. Even if
you're a quick learner and you think you can 'pick it up next week', it's
difficult for those who are present to remember your placement. Not to mention
the fact that we might not review it next week. It could be next month. Please
think about the commitment you need to make with this show. I hesitate to
say that I can deal with 1 conflict because that opens up the possibility
of 60 absences! However, I know life happens. Please see me or email me individually
about your schedule if you think there might be some concern. You know I'll
be there every Friday! If I don't see you on Friday night, I guarantee you,
I'll be calling you.
Baby Typo
Boy, you guys are keeping me in line! When I put out the memo that board president
Beth VanHorn had her baby, you all caught my fatigue mistake in saying that
the baby was 3 inches and weighed 20 pounds! OK OK, I stand corrected! Here's
the correct info: Owen Charles VanHorn was 9 pounds, 3 OUNCES, 20 INCHES!
Correct me if I'm wrong (as I'm sure you will ), but I believe his birthday
was December 21st at 8:00 a.m. (How'd I do?)
Forgetting Something?
Every newsletter, I forget something! I must be getting old! Please know that
I would never intentionally keep any info from the company! I try to save
everything people email me and then put it in the next newsletter. If I forgot
you this time, my apologies! Any info you want out in the next newsletter,
send it to me prior to February 15th. Maybe you should send it to me really
close to the 15th. Support the Arts! Nothing in January as far as I know.
You must all be busy with MGP, or somethin'!
