Director’s Notes“We can work it out….”The early 1960s existed in a climate of high idealism. There was the sense that we could make a beautiful world, a much better and compassionate world. There was an atmosphere that anything was possible, that we could create a better society.It is during the backdrop of this time period that SUDS takes place. SUDS is a celebration of that innocence and idealism, and a celebration of friendship – the ability to come together for the common good, communicate, and resolve issues without resorting to sarcasm and vitriol. SUDS is hopeful, silly, and big-hearted. It celebrates a moment in time when life is full of possibility, and the future is wide open.Many thanks to the talented people who helped bring this show to fruition. This production has been a labor of love, and I have been blessed with an exceptional cast, musicians, and crew to bring this show to life. I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us as much as we enjoyed creating this experience for you.And a special thanks to Steve Gunderson for his insight, friendship, advice, and time he spent re-arranging songs to accommodate our vision.Enjoy! Nick Reeves

A Brief History of SUDSBefore Mamma Mia, before Forever Plaid, there was SUDS. Homegrown in San Diego, it went on to break box office records at the Old Globe Theatre before moving Off-Broadway. For decades it has continued to be produced all over the United States and Canada, on tour, and in Australia.When good friends Melinda Gilb, Steve Gunderson, Bryan Scott, and Will Robertson created what was probably the first book-driven ‘juke box musical’ for a short run at the San Diego Rep in 1986, along with its original choreographer, the critically acclaimed Javier Velasco, and original costume designer, the Tony Award-winning Gregg Barnes, little did they know the show would go on to have dozens of productions worldwide.Over the years, SUDS cast members have included Tony Award-winner Alice Ripley (Next To Normal), Megan Hilty (Smash), Gwen Stewart (Rent), and many others.

Cindy Alfonso (Cherub 2/Backup Singer/Dancer) is thrilled to be making her local theater debut at the Coronado Playhouse. For the past 20 years, Cindy has been performing the role of teacher for the PUSD. She is grateful to have the

opportunity to work with the talented cast of SUDS! Cindy would like to thank her family: Mom, Dad, Jerry, and Resie for their unending support, and especially her hubby, Rob, for his love and encouragement. Her favorite role is being mom to her sweet and handsome son, AJ. Enjoy the show!

Ria Carey (Marge) is happy to put on Marge’s wings again after playing the role in the National Tour of SUDS. She has performed for the USO with some of San Diego’s finest bands, and has a fun, bawdy nightclub act with Don LeMaster and Rick

Rutti. Other fave roles include Mama Morton (Chicago), Mazeppa (Gypsy), and April O’Neill (National Tour of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Onstage and off, Ria never refuses hugs, dark chocolate, flowers, and wishes. Love and blessings to my family, friends, cast, crew, and our lovely audience. Fluff your wings and get ready to fly – Enjoy!

Stephanie Hable (Cherub 1/Backup Singer/Dancer) is very excited to be making her debut appearance at the Coronado Playhouse in this production of SUDS! A San Diego native, Stephanie grew up doing youth theatre downtown and

in East County. She graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, with her degree in Theatre Management, and has returned to her hometown to begin her career. Her new

focus is the business behind the stage but her passion for the stage continues. Some of her favorite roles include Eponine (Les Misérables), Iola Stover (Parade), and Jack’s Mom (Into the Woods).

Eliana Payne (Cindy) is overjoyed to have the surreal opportunity of working alongside such a lovely and breathtakingly talented cast in SUDS. Previous credits include: Brenda/Gym Coach (Hairspray), Lee (Bye Bye Birdie), Tiger Lilly (Peter Pan), Kaa

(The Jungle Book), Narrator (Charlotte’s Web), Lucy (You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown), The Cat (HONK! Jr.), Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz), and Alana (The Little Mermaid). She would like to thank Ms. Anna for her love and guidance; Rick, Nick, Michael, and Sven for their constant encouragement and support; and God for this amazing opportunity.

Michael has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the LA Stage Scene “Scenie” Award for Outstanding Choreography for Altar Boyz and the Bravo San Diego Award for Outstanding Choreographer of 2012. Currently, he is producing and choreographing Malashock/RAW4.

Rick Shaffer (Co-Musical Director) is especially pleased to be collaborating once again with Nick Reeves and Erich Einfalt. SUDS is the latest in a long string of productions for the Coronado Playhouse for which Rick has provided vocal and musical direction and accompaniment. Other San Diego theater credits include dozens of musical and dramatic productions for such theatre companies as Diversionary Theatre, Pickwick Players, Scripps Ranch Theatre, OnStage Playhouse, PowPAC, Lamplighters, Compass Theatre, and the Honors Theatre Project of the SDUSD Department of Visual and Performing Arts.

Erich Einfalt (Co-Musical Director) is pleased to be sharing musical direction duties with Rick Shaffer. SUDS is the fifth production at Coronado Playhouse since 2009 with Erich as musical director – and he does not seem to care that they were not all originally “musicals”, per se. However, he does seem determined to add that extra “something” that only music can provide. Previous behind-the-scenes soundings include The Wizard of Oz (with Jim Buxton), Sherlock Holmes’ Excellent Adventure, The Great American Trailer Park Musical, and The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940.

Sven Salumaa (Producer) would like to thank the cast and crew of this wonderful production! He is a proud member of the Coronado Playhouse’s Board of Directors. Some of Sven’s other “jobs” here have been producer of Carnival! (2013), a writer and actor in Actions Most Ridiculous (2010), and a director of Bethlehem Road (2012). Other San Diego credits include Heddatron and U.S. Drag at ion theatre company; Yank! and The Daddy Machine at Diversionary Theatre; They’re Playing Our Song and Chapter Two at Scripps Ranch Theatre; Fuddy Meers at PowPAC; and The Diary of Anne Frank at OnStage Playhouse.

Stephanie Salo (Co-Producer) is very excited for the opportunity to co-produce this production of SUDS with her friend Sven Salumaa. Other credits include Assistant Stage Manager for Ruthless! The Musical, Lighting Technician for Carnival! (Coronado Playhouse), and Assistant Stage Manager for The Wizard of Oz (Infinity Dance Arts). For the past six and a half years, Stephanie has served in the United States Navy. In January of 2015, she plans to finish her tour of service and return to college to complete her BA in technical theatre. Many thanks to her husband for supporting her in every avenue of life.

Samuel Disalvo (Stage Manager, Lighting Technician) is proud to be assisting as Stage Manager for SUDS. This is my second time assisting Nick Reeves, and 4th time assisting at the Coronado Playhouse. I recently was an Assistant Stage Manager for The Drowsy Chaperone, a Spot Operator for The Great American Trailer Park Musical, and as a stage hand assistant for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I am thankful and grateful to receive this great experience.

Dale Goodman (Lighting Design) has been an active theatre technician since 1990. Dale’s credits include extra work in local motion pictures; acting lighting, set, and sound design for numerous shows at the Coronado Playhouse; as well as a 1998 Aubrey for technical direction of I Hate Hamlet, and a 2008 Aubrey for lighting design for Blithe Spirit. Dale has also volunteered at the Hahn, Sweetooth, and Casa del Prado. Dale’s wife Betty provides a helping hand with lights, and much moral support for the Coronado Playhouse.

Jacob Koehnen (Sound Design and Sound Technician) is not only a nine-year veteran of the local theatre scene, he is also an Eagle Scout and an honors’ student, who is always ready to lend a helping hand. His recent productions include

miXtape (Lambs Players Theatre), Carnival! (Coronado Playhouse), The Crucible (Pickwick Players), and Curse of the Starving Class (Triad Productions). Jacob always enjoys the cast he works with and always hopes to work with them again.

Eileen Salsman (Costume Design and Construction) has found that costume design is a way to express her insane imagination, need for sparkles, glitter, and laughter. Eileen fell in love with costuming when designing and constructing the trees for The Wizard of Oz a couple years back. Using her skills as an artist and seamstress to support the telling of a good story rocks!

Wendy Burroughs (Costume Design and Construction) believes that costuming is about having fun while making a play’s characters realistic and empathetic. Wendy has worked in local community theatre set design for a number of years, venturing into costume design only recently with the Coronado Playhouse productions of The Great American Trailer Park Musical and The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940.

Jane Russell (Costume Design and Construction, Painting) became involved with theatre in the year 2000 when her friend, Rosemary King, said she could use some help with the five shows she was working on. Since then, Jane has received many awards for painting, set design, and set decoration, as well as an Aubrey for costume design. She still enjoys volunteering and meeting new and interesting people.Pamela Everett (Props and House Dressing) has enjoyed working in the theatre since her high school and college days. Every show along the way has been memorable, and she has received many Blue Ribbon and Aubrey awards for Props, set Dressing, and House while working with the wonderful players and directors at the Coronado Playhouse. But her greatest roles have been as wife (she met her husband in the theatre) and mother (two wonderful children). She thanks Nick for letting her come back and indulge her imagination once again!

Rosemary King (Scenic Painting) started painting scenery for OnStage Playhouse in 1987 for the production of All the Way Home. She has participated in the painting, construction, and design of sets for dozens of plays for the Scripps Ranch Community Theatre, Clairemont Players, OnStage Playhouse, PowPAC, and Coronado Playhouse, for which she has received numerous

Aubrey awards and nominations. Rosemary says. “This is a work of love and I will continue to do what I can for as long as I can.”

Ria Carey (Wigs) See Cast Bios.

She was inducted into the Haunted Hotel Hall of Fame after 17 years of service and won the Jim Peyton Spirit of Community award in 2012.
