  <b> HARRY STRICKLAND </b>
  <br/> 1927-1975
  <br/><br/>
  	The lights dim - the music fades - the curtain falls.
  <br/><br/>
    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.
  <br/><br/>
    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&#151;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.
  <br/><br/>
    The Actoringers have lost a life-time member, a devoted worker, a good friend.
  <br/><br/>
    It is with deep affection that The Actorsingers dedicate this production 
    of "MUSIC MAN" to the bright memory of Harry Strickland.

<para>
	  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.
  <br/><br/>
    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.
  <br/><br/>
    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.
