Saying "thank you" hardly seems enough, but we do thank the good people who gave generously of their time, energy and expertise in many different areas. We could say it takes a village, but as the Captain told us, "That's not a village. It's a town."

May 14 With sadness we report that Mrs. Margaret (Penny) Tamulonis has passed away. In 1978 the organization recognized Penny not only as a long-time supporter (over twenty years at that time) but as a hard worker who consistently served "above and beyond the call of duty." Thus was born our Penny Award. One would never have supposed at that time that Penny was not even halfway through her service to Actorsingers in a career of over half a century. Indeed, above and beyond. Penny was a dear friend. We'll miss her tremendously. Arrangements are in the care of Anctil-Rochette & Son Funeral Home. Visiting hours Friday May 15, 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 at Anctil-Rochette; funeral service Saturday May 16, 11:00am at Church of the Good Shepherd.

The music, dance, and comic performances were wonderful, the show was beautifully staged, and the audience — over two thousand strong! — loved it. Our congratulations and appreciation to the production and technical crews, the performers on stage and in the pit, and to the show directors!

March 30 Posted Swing! Auditions Schedule

March 23 Our Teen Actorsingers summer show will be Swing!

March 16 Actorsingers' big weekend was a success in two states!

In New Hampshire, the Junior Actorsingers' High School Musical played four performances to capacity crowds at the Janice B. Streeter Theatre on Court Street. Congratulations to the cast members on a job well done, and thanks to all of the production crew including so many parents who worked long and hard behind the scenes to make the magic happen.

In Massachusetts, our adults presented Vital Signs in regional festival where they were named "Top Three" finalists in several areas — Best Ensemble, Best Director, Best Costumes, and for Gina Carbello, Best Actress. Congratulations to you all! For those who haven't seen it yet: Vital Signs will play in Nashua on April 4.

What's our next success, you ask? It's our Great Big Actorsingers Mainstage Show THE PRODUCERS which comes to Nashua's Keefe Auditorium for five performances only in early May. NOW is the time to buy tickets as seating is reserved and there are—right now, at least—plenty of excellent seats remaining. See our Tickets page.

March 10 A big weekend for Actorsingers... High School Musical in Nashua (approaching a sellout, but as of noon today there are still seats available for all performances) and Vital Signs in competition in North Andover. "Break a leg!" to both casts. We're happy to announce today that Vital Signs will have a Nashua engagement on April 4 (one night only!) on Court Street. [more info]

Feb 13 You might "only" know Actorsingers as one of the most celebrated community musical theater companies around. But our group has also staged successful non-musical plays for drama competitions, and we're in the middle of one right now! Actorsingers' production of Vital Signs by Jane Martin won Second Place in the NH state competition and thus advances to Regional Competition to be held March 14, 2009 in North Andover, Mass.

The Festival is open to the public (ticket info on NHCTA page) and the women of Actorsingers' Vital Signs would surely love to have some Actorsingers members and friends in the audience to cheer them on to victory. For your convenience, our Junior Actorsingers will perform High School Musical on Friday March 13. You can see them first, and then travel to North Andover on Saturday to see the Actorsingers at 1:00pm, followed immediately by our fine neighbors the Nashua Theatre Guild (who took First in the statewide); you can even take in the entire Festival which continues on Sunday.

Note that the North Andover performance may well be your last penultimate opportunity to see this production anywhere near here, as victory will then advance the show to Tacoma, Washington in June.

Please see our NHCTA page for more info including full schedule.
