FROM THE PRODUCERS ...

We saw "DAMESATSEA" performed in Hawaii many years ago, and fell in lovewith it. Weagreed that. if ever given the chance, we would produce the show. West Valley Light Operagave us the chance, and wejumped at it. "DAMESATSEA" is a take-off on the 1930 BubsyBerkeley musical extravaganzas. If you notice a little bit of Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler andJoan Blondell in some of the performers, don't worry ...you're all right. It's a little bit offluff...a little meaningless fun from all thewonderful people who gave us all the wonderful"little bits of fluff' way back then. Sit back and enjoy ...laugh when you want to...applaudwhen you want to, and ifyou feel alump forming in your throat. think ofit as just a memoryof good times gone by.

HELP !!!

A LITTLE THING LIKE A REHEARSING HALL ...You'd think a rehearsing hall wouldn't be so hard to find. WVLOAhas been producingshows for over 22 years. They MUST have rehearsed SOMEWHERE ..•That's true, of course. We had been rehearsing at schools in the Saratoga SchoolDistrict. But, all of a sudden, after paying $3.00 an hour for many years, the fee wasraised to $10.00 an hour. That's out of our reach, out of our sight, and out of our budget.

50-0-0-0-0 ...

What do we do? We are at that famous place called "Wit's End".

It's a problem fellow theatre-goers. WVLOAdraws performers from all over the SouthBay, the East Bay, the Peninsula. Santa cruz and Gilroy. When we did "Annie", we hadone of the members of the cast come down from San Francisco. A centralized placewould be nice, but, at this paint, we'll take almost anything anywhere down here.

THE SITUATION HAS BECOME DESPERATE It!WE NEED YOUR HELP It!

Isn't there someone out there who has a warehouse someplace that's not being used atnight? We need about 60 feet by 40 feet. The company has liability insurance and wewould be more than happy to make you an ••ADDITIONALINSURED". All we require is 3hours a night during the week. with rest room facilities and a place to make coffee.Enough parking for about 15-20 cars. We'll even bring in our own piano. A FREE halfpage ad in our programs will be thrown in as a part of the deal.If there are any questions, or if you have such a place, please call Gene Pincus at 257-7951, or Ed Hand at 356-7340.Thank You.
