WHO'S WHO IN OUR CAST

DIANE MILO (Sonia) - Diane returns for her secondappearance with WVLO after making her dramatic andimpressive debut in the role of Ann Collier in our pro-duction of "The 1940's Radio Hour". Diane has beenbusy since then, appearing in many productions through-out the Bay Area. Most notably, she understudied andperformed three of the five principal roles in PCLO/Hillbarn's production of "Nunsense" and was featured

along with the rest of the members of the jazz quartet, Corner Pocket, asthe award-winning Angel City 4 in AMTSJ's "City of Angels". She was alsothe Associate Director for FMT's "Fiddler On The Roof" and was mostrecently seen in Bus Barn Stage's nostalgic "Tapestry". Her leading man,Robin Melnick, was also featured in "Tapestry" so this is a special stagereunion for them. Diane extends her gratitude to Director, Brad Handshy,for giving her this incredible opportunity. And we thank Diane for return-ing to share her talents with our audiences. We hope she will find the timeto do so again soon!

ROBIN MELNICK (Vernon) - This is Robin's firstreturn to WVLO since a role he says literally changedhis life. He played Lancelot - and more importantlyalso met his wife, Mary - in our 1994 production of"Camelot." And looking around the cast and crew, it'sdefinitely a reunion show for Robin, having just workedwith Diane (Sonia) in the recent Bus Barn (Los Altos)run of "Tapestry;" with Tim, our other Vernon, in "1776"

with our sister company, SDG; and with Kris Dudley, Janet Miller, andmany of our production and technical crew in a host of shows over theyears. In the meantime, he's performed with groups around the Bay Area- from San Jose's AMT to San Francisco's Lamplighters. A few of Robin'sfavorite roles have included Antipholus of Syracuse in "The Boys FromSyracuse," Rapunzel's Prince in "Into the Woods," Lee in "1776," andDominique in "The Baker's Wife." A lifelong musician and native of South-ern California, Robin's musical theater career didn't begin till he moved tothe South Bay after college at Berkeley. Robin and his wife live in Moun-tain View.

Before taking time offto pursue a teaching credential, Jolin traveled through-out the country, teaching and performing with Califor-nia Theatre Center. She has also enjoyed working forShakespeare Orange County and Sunnyvale SummerRep where she recently appeared as Amy Lawrence in

"Tom Sawyer". Jolin's professional credits include ''AMidwinter's Night'sDream", "The Fantasticks", "The Diary of Anne Frank", and ''Alice InWonderland". Her most memorable roles include Aldonza in "The Manof La Mancha" and Myra in "Hay Fever". Her hobbies include readingand husband, Dustin, not necessarily in that order! Jolin's favorite role isnow that of a first-grade teacher at Argonaut School here in Saratoga. We'relooking forward to her return to our stage very soon.

TIM REYNOLDS (Vernon) - Believe it or not, this isTim's first production with WVLO, even though he hasmade many appearances on this stage, all with SDG,having appeared in their productions of "Cabaret","Brigadoon", "Day in Hollywood, Night in the Ukraine","Grand Night For Singing", "1776", "Irene", "Guys &Dolls" and "Anything Goes". Tim has a long and variedlist of credits beginning with "Gypsy" for SJCMT more

than twenty years ago. Other productions include "Crazy For You" withPCLO; "She Loves Me" with CCMT; ''Annie Get Your Gun" and "WestSide Story" for PP; "Wilbur and Me", "Big River", and "Merrily We RollAlong" with TheatreWorks; "The Secret Garden" with MVP and overtwenty productions with LACT. A graduate of Northwestern Universitywith a degree in Speech/Theatre, Tim is equally at home on the non-musical stage, with such credits as "Blithe Spirit", "Bullshot Crummond",''AMidsummer Night's Dream" and the world premier of "Doubles" withSanta Clara Players in which he plated six roles. Tim lives in Fremont withhis lovelywife, Barbara, who is also a very talented singer/actress. We hopethis is just the beginning of his performances with us.

WEST VALLEY LIGHT OPERA ASSOCIATIONANNOUNCES ITS 35TH SEASON, 1999-2000

"PHANTOM"Music & Lyrics by MAURY YESTON; Book by ARTHUR KOPITBased on the novel, "The Phantom of the Opera", by Gaston Leroux, this musical relates atouching love story of a hideously disfigured musical genius who haunts the Paris Opera House,and who falls in love with Christine, the beautiful young soprano. This "Phantom" has beenviewed as one of the most appealing American musicals of recent years and should not beconfused with Andrew Lloyd Webber's recent production. This bold new interpretation is apowerful, emotional story that will tug at your heart. Yeston recently wrote the music and lyricsfor the Broadway hit, "Titanic". This score includes: "Melodie de Paris", "You Are Music","Home", "My True Love" and "You Are My Own". Performances: Oct/Nov/99

"THE BOY FRIEND"Book, Music & Lyrics by SANDYWILSONThis classic musical is a witty and stylish cartoon of the Jazz Age in the roaring 20's, set on theFrench Riviera in a fashionable finishing school where the inevitable wide-eyed innocent heroinefalls in love with an earnest, well-meaning young man. There are many complications which makethis a delightful spoof of the old-fashioned operetta - all to a flapper beat. A good-humored, tunefuland affectionate valentine to the innocence and high spirits of the Charleston, Cloche hat and shortskirt days of the 20's, this musical first opened in London in 1954, starring Julie Andrews and cameto Broadway in 1970 with Sandy Duncan in the leading role. The 1972 film version starred Twiggyand Tommy Tune. Memorable songs, besides the title song, include: "Won't You Charleston WithMe?" & "I Could Be Happy With You", Performances: Mar/Apr 2000

"THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES"Book by PETER STONE, Music by CY COLEMAN, Lyrics by BETTY COMDEN &ADOLPH GREENThe spirit of Florenz Ziegfeld lives again as this musical takes you on a bewitching tour of the lifeand times of the legendary Will Rogers with one dazzling number after another. Rogers' rope-twirling, home-spun humor is more widely appealing amidst sensational production numbers andpanache of the original "Ziegfeld Follies" which dazzled audiences during the 1920's & 1930's.This musical opened on Broadway in 1991, starring Keith Carradine and won the Tony Award forBest Musical. Several national touring companies have since presented it in major cities across thecountry. Songs include: "Will-A-Manina", "Give Me Enough Rope", "Once In Awhile" & "NeverMet a Man I Didn't Like". Performances: June/July 2000

She has assisted other costumers ("Where's Charley?" was the most recent),but her last costuming responsibility was "The King & I" in 1993 - with a "castof thousands" that was a major undertaking - we understand why she took arest.
