Glen currently leads the Milwaukee Jazz All Stars and performs on both sides of the proscenium as a musician and as an actor. Recent reviews of his acting have included comments such as “It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion” and “He has a great face for radio.” So, you may consider yourselves lucky to hear him on woodwinds tonight!

Corey Richards (Mitch Mahoney) This is Corey’s ninth show here at Civic. He first appeared as Dickon in The Secret Garden. Then was Snoopy in You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. A few years later he was in Miracle on 34th Street as Dr. Sawyer. After that he played Billy in 42nd Street and then Horton in Seussical The Musical.

stared in roles such as Joseph from Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat, Chuck in Footloose, he also stared in Into the Woods as Cinderella’s Prince, George in Our Town, Stanley in Hello Dolly. He is so excited to be in this show, and finds it ironic because anyone that knows him, knows that he is a horrible speller.

Other recent design credits include Joseph… for Brookfield Central High School, and Sweet Charity, Prelude to a Kiss, and The Drowsy Chaperone at Sunset Playhouse.

DIRECTOR ’S NOTES

What is a word? [wurd] noun 1. something that is said. a unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation, that functions as a principal carrier of meaning. What is adolescence? [ad-l-es=uh ns] noun 1. the transitional period between puberty and adulthood in human development.

As an educator I have an appreciation, love, and homage for children getting through the challenges of age. Children are constantly searching for acceptance among their peers. They want to be heard when they speak, to feel intelligent, to be taken seriously, especially by the adults in their lives. They are looking to make everyone happy. I have come to believe the authors wrote Spelling Bee as a kind of metaphor for the Human Experience -- sometimes you get the easy words and sometimes you don’t. “Life is random and unfair! Life is Pandemonium!”

Spelling Bee, through its chaos, humor, and song takes us back to those awkward elementary and middle school years. This is the long journey of self discovery and finding out who we truly are. The time we learn that “it’s OK to be different.” As you watch the kids in this show try to find answers to life’s mysteries in a book where every word can be found and defined and spelled, ask yourself “can one really define oneself and find their place in words?” I believe it must be found ....... in life! Watch the show! You may even see yourself!

around the Milwaukee area. Some of AJ’s most recent WCT set design credits include Miss Saigon, The Tavern, Candy Cane Tales and Holiday Carols, Two by Two, and State Fair. A.J. enjoys spending with his wife, actress Kelly Simon, and their 14-month-old little girl.

Sharon Sohner (Costume Assistant) Sharon is honored and excited to be working with Thomas Weissgerber and the incredibly talented, wonderful cast and crew on this challenging production. Other WCT costuming projects have been: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, The Dining Room, and 110 in the Shade. Special thanks to the WCT Costume Divas: Aleta, Ellen, Lee, and Sallie for their generous help and willing natures.

Shawn Spellman (Properties Assistant/DressingAssistant) Shawn has been involved with WCT for eight years and loves every aspect of it. She is glad to be helping out a friend in need during the run of Spelling Bee.

Thomas Weissgerber (Director/Choreographer/Costume Designer) Thomas was born and raised in Chicago, holds a degree in Musical Theatre, and is currently working on getting his certification in Theatre Education. He came to Milwaukee in 1997 and served as the Artist in Residence at the Milwaukee Jewish Day School. Currently he is The Head of Theatre at Whitnall High School where he truly enjoys sharing his knowledge and Theatre Education. Thomas has also worked as the Theatre Manager at the Jewish Community Center of Milwaukee. And for 10+ years he has been with First Stage Childrens Theatre. Most recently he directed the musical RENT at Theatre On Main and last year Cabaret. Thomas is excited to be directing here at Waukesha Civic Theatre and hopes to be back again.

Volunteer Opportunities with the Waukesha Civic TheatreWCT has a number of opportunities for people who are looking to volunteer some of their time.

Ushers must be 14 years or older and are expected to work one performance per production. Usher duties include helping patrons by taking tickets and directing patrons to assigned

Raffle Sellers – Would you like to help WCT raise money while enjoying a perfor-mance at the same time? Then volunteer to sell raffle tickets during performances. Sellers must be over 14 years old or accompanied by an adult. Pro-ceeds benefit WCT’s operating fund. Please call the business office at (262) 547-4911.

Bartenders – Are you a licensed bartend-er? WCT is looking for volunteer bartend-ers to run the bar during performances. Contact the business office at (262) 547-4911 during regular business hours for more information.

ACAP PLAYMAKERS provide daytime performances (often of original works) based upon school curricula, themes, and

ideas relevant to children at various stages of their education. The fall PlayMakers production is geared to our elementary students, and the spring production is produced for middle school students. While offered primarily to school groups, these family-friendly shows are great for public, private, and home school groups, Boy and Girl Scout troops, senior centers, and your family! Please call (262) 547-0708 for ticket prices and information. PlayMak-ers rehearse and perform in the daytime, and are always looking for new actors and technical personnel.

ACCESSIBILITY The Margaret Brate Bryant Civic Theatre Building is fully handicapped-accessible, and WCT is proud to offer a number of services for our patrons who have special needs (a four-week notice is required and services are based upon availability). For the hearing impaired we have a T-Coil Loop System, T-Coil Listening Devices, and FM listening devices that will amplify the sounds of the performance.

Patrons must have hearing aids with telecoils installed and activated to use the Loop System. Patrons who are blind can receive audio descriptive services for the performance. Wheelchair accessibility is available in two forms: transfer seats and wheelchair positions.

PATRONS Please refrain from wearing highly-scented colognes, perfumes, hand cream, or aftershave to performances, as many people have allergies or respiratory problems. WCT is concerned for all patrons and we appreciate your cooperation.

PARKING Parking is available on Main Street, in the Riverfront Plaza parking area behind the Theatre, off Barstow Street, in the parking facility on Broadway, and at other locations in downtown Waukesha.
