Concord Players (concordplayers@concordplayers.org)
51 Walden Street
Concord, MA 01742-0022
http://www.concordplayers.org
The Concord Players trace their history to 1856 and the Concord Dramatic Union, which Louisa May Alcott helped to found. In 1872, the Union became the Concord Dramatic Club, and, ultimately, in 1919, the Concord Players. In 1921, the Players added the stage with fly space, scene dock, storage facilities, and Green Room to the town-owned building at 51 Walden Street, then used also as an armory.
In 1972, the Players joined with the Concord Orchestra and the Concord Band to form the Friends of the Performing Arts in Concord (FOPAC), and the town of Concord agreed to allow this organization to refurbish 51 Walden as a performing arts center. In addition to a music stage for the band and orchestra, a ballet studio was built to house day and evening classes for both children and adults. In 1975, 51 Walden was designated as a "Permanent Bicentennial Memorial."
The Players make every effort to reach out to a broad following. Tryouts for Concord Players' shows are widely publicized and open to all. With a variety of abilities and tastes in mind, a Play/Director Selection Committee works a year ahead of each season to choose a balanced slate of plays. The Committee matches the best directors available to these plays.
To train and to encourage the participation of people with an interest in technical theatre, as well as in performing, are also important goals. The Players are noted for their strong technical support system, which has certainly contributed to their success. As 3-time winners of the coveted NETC Moss Hart Award and 5-time winners of the EMACT Festival at Brandeis University, the Concord Players are proud of their standing as a longtime cultural asset to the greater Concord community.

Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
http://www.footlight.org
Nestled in a residential area near Jamaica Pond, The Footlight Club, America's oldest community theatre, has performed every year since 1877. For over 120 years Footlight Club members have sustained the organization's mission:
To present the best in non-professional theater to a broad-based audience, and to preserve and maintain Eliot Hall as a community resource.
Increased membership and audience sizes are evidence that The Footlight Club is once again taking its place among the sisterhood of community theatres.
Founded by an energetic group of young socialites, The Footlight Club has evolved along with its neighborhood. Once, wealthy aristocrats arrived in coaches to enjoy the society of their own kind in an atmosphere of gentility and wealth. The performances sometimes seemed secondary to the social function. Today the Footlight Club draws its membership from Jamaica Plain, other Boston neighborhoods and surrounding communities.
Members and guests range in age from teens to senior citizens and come from every social and economic stratum. Doctors and lawyers, waiters and cooks, husbands and wives, come together to perform, to enjoy, and to support exciting amateur productions and the other activities that make up live theater.

Marblehead Little Theatre (info@m-l-t.org)
12 School St
Marblehead, MA 01945
http://www.m-l-t.org
One success in 1955 by members of the drama committee of the Marblehead Woman's Club, ignited the desire to tackle bigger and better things. Encouraged by the response to a one act play, "The Charm Racquet", the women decided to next produce a three-act play and then went one step bolder by deciding to form a community theatre group.
Marblehead Little Theatre's first full scale production was Moss Hart's "Light up the Sky". While casting the show, it became evident that a much larger group was needed and so, husbands, sons, daughters, and friends were enlisted. The show opened on January 18, 1956, at the Marblehead Junior High School Auditorium.
And so Marblehead Little Theatre (MLT) was born and now over four decades later has proven to be one of the oldest community theatre groups in New England as well as one of the few to have continually produced shows each year.

Savoyard Light Opera Company (info@savoyardlightopera.org)
P.O. Box 333
Carlisle, MA
http://www.savoyardlightopera.org
Now located in Carlisle, the Savoyard Light Opera Company has proximate roots reaching back over 30 years to Maynard, and deeper roots reaching back to London, where the first Gilbert & Sullivan collaboration, Thespis, was produced in 1871. The present Company started in 1971, when a group of Maynard townspeople undertook a production of H.M.S. Pinafore as part of that town's centennial celebration. It was a great success and so much fun for the participants that they undertook annual productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, thus initiating a tradition.
By 1980, with ten annual productions to its credit, the group formally incorporated as the Maynard Savoyards, drawing their name from the fact that the fourteen works written by Gilbert & Sullivan are known as the Savoy Operas after the operahouse built by Richard D'Oyly Carte for these charming and timeless musicals. The Savoy Theatre (next to the Savoy Hotel, both named for Savoy Manor which once stood on the site) on the Strand in London was destroyed by fire a few years ago. Happily the theatre was rebuilt and opened again in 1993, where a recently revivified D'Oyly Carte Opera Company performs from time to time.
Altogether, the Savoyard Light Opera Company has produced eleven of the G&S operettas, many of them more than once, omitting three (Thespis, Utopia Limited, and Grand Duke), each of which present difficulties that to most fans of G&S do not repay the effort of production.
In 1983 the Board changed the name from the Maynard Savoyards to the Savoyard Light Opera Company, recognizing the fact that they derive their players and audiences not only from the Maynard area but from all of eastern Massachusetts, and anticipating the possibility that the group might wish to depart from the strict canon of G&S operettas, thus infusing new blood and new musical versatility and attracting new audience members.
The anticipated departure did not actually occur until 1990, with the production of Little Mary Sunshine. A new plan - to alternate year by year G&S productions with other musicals chosen because their wit and musicality measure up to the standards set by Gilbert & Sullivan - was initiated in 1993 with Lerner & Loewe's My Fair Lady. The company has since performed Sigmund Romberg's. The New Moon, Frank Loesser's Most Happy Fella, Gershwin's Of Thee I Sing and most recently Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate.
The Company espouses the ambition to produce shows of a near professional quality, featuring a full orchestra. Auditions are required of all singers, including chorus, and the Company has been fortunate in attracting some of the best talent in the area. It's tradition for excellence extends back over 30 years here in Massachusetts and, perhaps it is not too much to say, through 130 years to the masters who created so much joyful poetry and music.

251 Old Sudbury Road
Sudbury, MA
http://www.sudburysavoyards.org
We perform Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas.
Each spring we present one G&S production.
Each summer, we present a comic play.
We present theatre on a grand scale in a 900-seat auditorium at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, utilizing full sets, lights, costumes, and orchestra. Our productions often put as many as 65 people on the stage and 30 in the orchestra pit, with another 60 people involved in backstage or off-stage work.
No auditions are required for the chorus .
Our organization believes that, in community theater, the "community" part and the "theater" part are equally important.
We are a 100% volunteer organization. None of the over 150 people involved each year in our production receives any financial compensation.
All proceeds are donated to the Sudbury United Methodist Committee for the relief of world hunger.
A key feature of the Sudbury Savoyards is its large chorus. During our rehearsal season, which begins in November and runs until our production in February, the chorus rehearses almost every Monday, with Friday rehearsals added beginning in January. There are additional rehearsals on the Sunday afternoon two weeks before the show, and most of the week right before opening night.
Rehearsals are held at Hawes Hall, Sudbury United Methodist Church, 251 Old Sudbury Road (Route 27), in Sudbury Center. Warmups are at 7:25 pm, and rehearsals start promptly at 7:30 pm and run until about 10:15 pm.

Walpole, MA 02081
http://www.footlighters.com
The Walpole Footlighters are 81 years young. The group began in 1924 when Frank Mansur, principal of Walpole High, called together 12 people who were already known on the local stage for their work in the teachers' play or in shows put on by other organizations. They were Michael Downing, Adele Eichler Ernst, Marguerite Maguire Hynes, Harry Newell, Marion Mansur, Malcolm Mars, Marguerite Fox McDonald, Mildred O'Leary, Mabel Park, James Stoddard and Grace Hall Percy. The group decided to join forces and thus have more control of the acting they were obviously going to be doing anyway. They became the "Original Thirteen" when Billy Anderson of Norwood was called in to help with the staging in the first production, The Dover Road, on the problem-laden stage of the Town Hall. (The only way to get from left to right backstage was out the fire escape into the cold night and back up the other side.) This first production met with such success that they immediately began to plan for the future.

Historically, Society membership was limited to only Weston residents connected with the First Parish Unitarian Church.

Despite changes in membership since 1885, the original purpose of The Friendly Society has been steadfastly maintained:
"The Friendly Society is a self-supporting, non-profit performing arts organization which promotes community service and fellowship through support of local charitable causes."
We feel that the Society's mission and goals are as timely now as they were in the late 1800s.

We thank you, our audience, for your generous support and we invite you to join The Friendly Society. Your participation in our social activities, musical and theatrical pursuits, and charitable fundraising endeavors is most appreciated.
