Concord Players (concordplayers@concordplayers.org)
51 Walden Street
PO Box 22
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.

Our purpose is to provide a medium through which its members may develop their creative talents through experience in the field of theater. This purpose is predicated on the belief that individual skills in the techniques of stage craft, lighting, stage sets, costuming, makeup, play analysis, and acting, combined in a group effort which results in a positive theatrical production, supply a beneficial cultural stimulus both to the membership and to the entire community.
We stage three productions per year, generally a comedy, a drama, and a musical. Auditions are open to members and nonmembers alike and we encourage your participation.

Little Theatre of Stoughton (littletheatreofstoughton@gmail.com)
PO Box 854
Stoughton, MA 02072-0854
http://www.littletheatreofstoughton.org
In 1957, local residents Joseph J. Celi and Dorothy Woodward joined forces to launch The Young People's Theatre in Stoughton. Originally intended as a vehicle for teenagers, the response from adults was so great that the charter group was actually composed of 35 people of all ages with differing backgrounds. However, they all had one thing in common: interest in all aspects of theatre. With a lot of enthusiasm, and not much else, the group chose its first play, "Time Out For Ginger." Starring a high school girl and a local minister, the group built its first set, borrowed makeup and props, and plunged in. He encouraged everyone on-stage and backstage to strive for professionalism and pride. Woodward's quiet influence and spirited energy held the group together in both morale and business, and she encouraged quality and teamwork.
Now 48 seasons strong, The Little Theatre of Stoughton has offered something for everyone - comedies, dramas, musicals and mysteries. A succession of talented groups veterans and newcomers have appeared on our stage. Area audiences have come to expect technical excellence and expertise at every show, and our members contribute many long hours to keep this strong tradition going. (Our production credits are a good example of how we all wear many hats.)
Established as a non-profit organization, we are proud to contribute to several local funds, including the Little Theatre of Stoughton Performing Arts Scholarship - In Memory of Joseph Celi, The Dr. Appleton & Dorothy Woodward Performing Arts Scholarship, The Stoughton Auxiliary Police Fund, and the Stoughton Public Library Dorothy Woodward Memorial Fund.

Marblehead Little Theatre (info@m-l-t.org)
12 School Street
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)
PO Box 333
Carlisle, MA 01741
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.

No auditions are required for the chorus .
Our organization believes that, in community theater, the "community" part and the "theater" part are equally important.

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.

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.
