HARRY STRICKLAND
1927-1975

The lights dim - the music fades - the curtain falls.

Harry joined the Actorsingers in "Yeomen of the Guard" in November, 1959. After a few appearances on stage, it was apparent that he had two left feet, and his vocalizing would not insure his ever being a romantic lead, so he decided to lend his considerable talents to the technical end of our productions.

Thus, he became one of the "unsung heroes" of the theater, and with the assistance of good crews created the true magic of show business—reversible sets for split second changes, waterfalls with real cascading water, ghosts that floated overhead, dream sequences, blackouts, special effects. With earphones, microphone and dangling wires making him look like a creature from outer space, he manipulated the balky switchboard backstage like a virtuoso with a fine musical instrument and evoked fantasia against what seemed like impossible odds.

The Actoringers have lost a life-time member, a devoted worker, a good friend.

It is with deep affection that The Actorsingers dedicate this production of "MUSIC MAN" to the bright memory of Harry Strickland.

After years of wandering from place to place for rehearsals, set building and the storing of costumes, props and equipment, the Nashua Actorsingers are proud to announce that plans are now in the making to acquire land and erect a permanent building.

We are certainly grateful for all the support we have received in the past from our patrons, advertisers, and you the audience who have helped Actorsingers to where we are today.

However, now that we have launched our building fund drive, we need your support more than ever. All contributions, no matter how small, will help us reach our goal of $50,000. Your donations, should be sent to Actorsingers, P.O. Box 91, Nashua, N. H.
