Fifty years ago, a handful of dedicated individuals, interest in sharing their love of musical theatre, established the Nashua Actorsingers.

On March 10, 2005, Actorsingers lost our last charter member of the organization, past president, dedicated supporter, dear friend, Albin "Al" Tamulonis.

We are indebted to Al for his vision of bringing musical theatre to the Nashua audience, and we will always be grateful to him for opening the doors to so many artists eager to show their talents on stage or behind the scenes, in the orchestra, or directing. Thank you, Al.

Our condolences to his loving wife, Penny, and the entire Tamulonis family.

Notes from the Director

Welcome to 42nd Street — the well-known story of an enthusiastic chorus girl from Smalltown USA who (almost!) auditions for her first New York show and finds herself a Broadway star overnight! It is also the story of the somewhat jaded and worn director of Pretty Lady, the fictional production within the production of 42nd Street, who is touched by the pure joy and enthusiasm of this young starlet and finds a renewed passion for his own love of musical theater.

A very special thank you to Actorsingers for inviting me to share in the telling of this special story and for giving me the opportunity to work with this amazingly gifted cast and production team. You have made me feel most welcome, and I am honored by your endless enthusiasm, dedication and support!

Special heartfelt thanks to Martha, Kathy, Mike and Steve for making the journey such a joy and the destination a Broadway dream come true. Not all the specs of dust taht make a stage shine are found on stage!

And finally, thanks to YOU, the audience, for allowing us the opportunity to do what we love best. So come and hear those dancin' feet... on the avenue we're taking you to... 42nd Street!!

Enjoy the show!
Dana Bissett, Director
