The Actorsingers would like to express their sorrow at the passing of
Ernie Peterson. Ernie was one of our earliest members and was instrumental
in creating the organization we know today. He sang or worked backstage in
many shows and was more than once a member of the Board of Directors.
Even when Ernie had stopped being active on a show to show basis, he was
always ready to help out in any way. To his wife, family and friends, we
extend our sincere sympathy.
Penny Award Winner
Don Jeffrey, Jr.
The Penny Award was created to pay tribute to members of the Actorsingers
who have served above and beyond the call of duty. The Actorsingers are
deeply proud to announce the latest recipient of this award, Don Jeffrey.
Don was stage manager for our productions of GUYS AND DOLLS and OLIVER and
shared the stage manager's position for WEST SIDE STORY. He has also been
on the stage crew or worked on every other show since he joined the
Actorsingers in 1982! Don has been cast photographer and has served on the
Board of Directors. He is always willing to use his time and talents to
help the Actorsingers to give the best possible performance to the community.
Thank you Don and CONGRATULATIONS!
The Actorsinger Chorus
The Actorsinger Chorus, a mixed chorus of some of our finest solo
voices, offers a variety of musical programs of 1/2 hour to 1 hour in
length for various clubs, conventions, service and business organizations.
These shows are performed on request and consist of musical numbers to
suit everyone's taste-showtunes, spirituals, traditional and "Oldies but goodies."
Why not treat yourselves and your group to a musical extravaganza?
Donations for these programs go toward reducing the mortgage on our home
at 219 Lake Street. For further information on booking a special show for your
group please contact: Kerry Schneider, 888-[xxxx] or if you enjoy singing
and having a fun time PLEASE join our chorus each Monday at 7:30.
For information concerning rehearsals call Ann Mitchell, 465-[xxxx].
The Potential Favorites
School Board Members
The Actorsingers present the Potential Favorites Barbershop Quartet as
Ewart, Jacey, Oliver and Olin, the bickering School Board members.
Dave Kryger, lead; Matt Mercier, tenor; Steve Tramack, baritone; and
Ken Kopka, bass, have won competitions including the championship for Division 5
(Maine and New Hampshire). Potential Favorites were silver medalists in the
Northeastern District and have twice qualified to compete internationally.
Joe Kopka, father of Ken Kopka, is a member of The Adventurers.
They were our quartet when we produced THE MUSIC MAN several years ago.
Nashua Exchange Club
Traveling Salesmen
Harold R. Acres, Michael Dapkus, Raymond Dion, Donald LaChance,
Raymond Lambert, Kevin McAffee, George Marineau, Ronald Mazurek
The Nashua Exchange Club is part of a national organization that
meets weekly throughout the year. Membership is comprised of individuals
from the greater Nashua area who share a common goal of helping others.
They conduct various fund-raising events throughout the year with the main
emphasis on helping the youth of our community, an example being the
Annual N.H.S. Post-Prom Party at St. Stanislaus Hall. Other projects
include "One Nation Under God," "Giveakidaflagtowave," "Crime Prevention"
and others. I am sure that you will agree that in addition to being
COMMUNITY LEADERS these fine gentlemen have a fine career ahead of
them in front of the footlights.
