From the Director...
Welcome to "West Side Story". Most, if not all of you, have read or are familiar with the
story/play this show was based upon -- "Romeo and Juliet", by some guy named Will. A lot of
you have watched the movie as well -- yeah, the one with Natalie Wood. And probably a few
of you have seen previous productions of this show. This was the 1st professional American
musical I have seen and since then, I have been mesmerized by the muse of musical theater.
Years later, I was lucky to be a part of the show (as Chino) in Cambridge's Kresge Auditorium,
when I was doing grad school at MIT. For both, the show was performed in a very large
proscenium stage, which I have always thought of befitting the grandeur of this classic. With
that in mind, it was indeed a challenge when we were given the opportunity to do "West Side
Story" in this theater and make it a very memorable first production for the Teen Actorsingers
of Nashua. But we knew we were up for this challenge, particularly with a cast of very talented
and hardworking youngsters, which gave justice and passion to the dramatics, the music,
and the dance/movement that this show demands. What made it even better was having a
group of dedicated folks who worked days and nights to come up with the quality of sets,
costumes, props, lights, sounds, etc. that surpasses average expectations of community theater
productions. With this caliber of cast and crew in hand, we were confident that we would
all meet our personal goals for this show -- and each and every one would give their personal
best. This is a show where everyone involved dug into their hearts and soul to present to you,
the audience, what we hope will be a performance you will remember for quite some time. It
is a timeless story of kids confronted with the aspects of love an hatred as they group up in an
already very complicated world -- immortalized in pen centuries ago by Shakespeare, adapted
to the musical stage decades ago by Bernstein, Sondheim, and Laurents, and performed today
by the Teen Actorsingers in their rite-of-passage play.
Enjoy...
