Q&A with our Gala Co-Chair: Nancy Peters

2011-05-26T10:47:00.001-07:00

We sat down with Nancy Peters, co-chair for this year's gala. She shares her vision and what guests can expect on June 2nd...

How did you first hear about BITP?
Martha Cason, Jeff's mom and a friend of mine, told me about the exciting plans and asked if I'd be interested in volunteering back in December of 2009.

What inspired you to volunteer?
I am a theatre junkie and anything Broadway has been a passion of mine for most of my life. So when I heard of a way to become involved with a Broadway scale extravaganza in El Segundo, I was excited to get involved!

What's your vision for the gala?

My vision for the gala is a classy event, worthy of the caliber of Broadway In The Park. I always wanted the evening to be hosted at a high-end location and the ArcLight Beach Cities Cinema Lobby and Cafe has been a perfect fit. I pictured a night that would include gourmet appetizers and live music. I also wanted to organize a silent auction that featured high-value items that would excite our guests and make the evening worth coming out for.

What are some of the auction gifts this year?

Our gifts this year are really exciting. We're auctioning off a week in Cancun, Catalina Cruises, spa packages, Disneyland passes, CLOSBC opening night tickets and more. There's something for everyone!

What else can guests expect?

Jeff Cason will present a high energy multi-media program that's all about BITP's summer plans. Live musical entertainment will include amazing duets sung by some of last year's stars, a barbershop quartet, as well as a few numbers from "The Music Man." The entertainment will whet the appetites of our patrons for the festival in July!

Why should people come to this event?

Because Broadway In The Park is a great family-friendly program that promotes community and the arts. Our gala is what funds the summer festival... so come on out, eat some good food, bid on our fabulous auction items, and help us raise money and friends in anticipation of this year's summer festival!

Donate to 76 Trombones

2011-05-26T10:41:00.000-07:00

Meet The Choreographer: Ann Myers

2011-05-23T18:08:00.000-07:00

We sat down with Ann Myers, choreographer for this year's festival. She shares her history and what audiences can expect this summer...

How did you get started in theater? Although I’d been dancing since I was five, a friend in high school made me audition with her for our spring musical and there I was, bitten pretty hard by the theater bug. (Luckily, there’s no scar.)

Have we seen you in anything lately?

I’ve performed for theaters and cruise lines all over the country. But for the South Bay, I recently portrayed Lina Lamont in Norris Theatre’s “Singin in the Rain." I also choreographed the show, which was a special treat! Other South Bay credits include “Thoroughly Modern Millie” at Musical Theatre West and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”

What is your vision for the Music Man?

El Segundo is all about community. That is the base of my inspiration for creating fun choreography, somewhat reminiscent of Onna White’s, but with a little something extra, created specifically for this production. Be prepared to tap your toes, then have your socks knocked off! (Luckily, the grass feels great.)

What should auditioners expect when they arrive on day one?

Expect to have fun. And sweat. As long as you’re onboard with those two concepts, it’ll be a great time. And don’t be intimidated – we’ll be looking at all dance levels, so just come out, do your best and enjoy yourself!

Tell us what you love most about the show...

The Music Man has always been close to my heart. It’s one of my father’s favorites (he grew up in Iowa) and it was one of the first musicals I ever danced in when I was a teenager. Our family can’t even say the word 'Indiana' without humming “Gary, Indiana." But what I truly love about the show is it’s simple theme of love. Love of community, of family, of partners, of each other.

Anything else fun, crazy, or exciting you want to add?

Shipoopi!!!

Music By Moonlight Gala just 10 days away!

Christopher Durang One-Acts at the Morgan-Wixson

2010-05-17T11:08:00.000-07:00

"Only a writer of real talent can write an angry play that remains funny and controlled even in its most savage moments. 'Sister Mary Ignatius' confirms that Christopher Durang is just such a writer. The playwright gives us what 'The Actor's Nightmare' promises - a hero who suddenly finds himself on stage in a play he has never rehearsed. The premise lets Mr. Durang show off his gift for theatrical and show-biz satire." -Frank Rick, New York Times

Morgan-Wixson Theatre presents this night of hilarious one-acts, playing through May 29th. Tickets are on sale online and at the box office.

Broadway In The Park Gives Back

2010-05-07T17:09:00.000-07:00

It's official folks! Today marks the start of our brand new community service program, "Broadway In The Park Gives Back," where we donate an hour of community service to the South Bay for every ticket sold.

How does it work? When someone buys a ticket to our summer festival, our awesome volunteer crew will donate an hour of service back to a local cause. From reading to seniors to picking up litter on the roadside, it's our way of giving back to the community that supports us. Our goal is to donate 500 hours of service and renew the American spirit of volunteerism.

You can make a difference! There are two easy ways to give back to our South Bay community. Check it out:

Buy a ticket and 'order' an hour of service

Volunteer and 'cash in' an hour of service

Tell your friends about Broadway In The Park Gives Back and help us reach 500 hours!

BITP Gala A Huge Success

2010-04-26T12:05:00.000-07:00

Our first-ever fundraising gala, "Music By Moonlight," was a huge success! Over 80 people arrived at the Methodist Church to enjoy the festivities. Gourmet food by Ralph Thomas, Chef Hannes, and Cooke's Market was a big hit with the guests and our larger-than-life silent auction drew many bids throughout the evening.

The program went off without a hitch! City Councilmen Carl Jacobson and Don Brann were on hand to officially welcome Broadway In The Park to El Segundo. Afterward, talented local performers brought beautiful music to the stage as we presented our vision for the summer's main event.

All in all, our guests had a magical evening and we're happy to announce that we beat our fundraising goal by seven dollars - for a total of $5,007 raised that night!

Video of the gala performance is now on YouTube! Click below to watch the video and re-experiece the magic!

Gala Coordinator Martha Cason remarks, “It's a great opportunity to find out what Broadway In The Park is all about and support this exciting new cultural jewel in El Segundo. We have some great auction gifts and will be featuring very talented singers onstage. It's just going to be a magical evening.”

"Li'l Abner" lands at Kentwood Players

2010-03-15T10:00:00.000-07:00

Westchester's Kentwood Players presents the fun-loving musical "Li'l Abner." Based on Al Capp’s politically and socially satirical comic strip, the story centers on Dogpatch’s Sadie Hawkins’ Day Race, the annual opportunity for Daisy Mae to once again attempt to snag Li’l Abner for her husband. But the race gets interrupted by Washington D.C. bureaucrats who announce that Dogpatch has been determined to be the most unnecessary town in the USA, and thus has been selected as the site for testing the atomic bomb. Told they can only avoid evacuation and annihilation by demonstrating that the town has some redeeming value, Mammy Yokum throws her secret Yokumberry tonic into the mix, the plot thickens, and the madCapp ride takes off!

"Li'l Abner" is directed by Victoria Miller and plays through April 17th. Tickets are on sale now at the box office and online.

BITP Update - 1/25

2010-01-25T11:03:00.000-08:00

Hey gang! It's been a solid month since we've shared an update with you all and so much has been happening. Got a cold drink and some bagel bites? Good. Here's the scoop:

Gettin' Connected
For a few months now we've been sharing info with you online, through the blog and website. But now we're going pro status with a mailing address and phone line. If you want to send us a letter, donation, or love note with Lisa Frank stickers in the margin, just shoot your stuff to:

Broadway In The Park
P.O. Box 3088
El Segundo, CA 90245

And for those of you who long to talk to a real live robot on the phone, you can call our new phone number:

(310) 954-1425

...and listen to a recorded version of me giving you voicemail options. Haha. Actually, if you call between the hours of 10am and 4pm on a weekday, it will route you to my cell phone and we can talk the day away. Or answer your questions. Whichever.

Speaking of Coffee
This month we are debuting a new event series, Broadway In The Park Coffee Parties. These fun little events get the community together at someone's house to watch live performances, enjoy some coffee and dessert, and see a presentation on BITP and what its all about. We're really excited to share this vision with the community and I'm excited to dance around like a nine year-old explaining how cool the special effects and cotton candy are gonna be. Give us a call at (310) 954-1425 or email us to participate as a host or attendee.

The Three T's
As we embark on this crazy journey, we recognize the support of the community is vital to our success. If you feel passionate about bringing great musical theatre to El Segundo, we ask that you consider sharing a "T" with us: time, talent, or treasure. Your volunteer and financial support make it all possible and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We'll send you a love note too. With the stickers and everything...

Thank you guys! And hey, if you haven't already, click here and sign up to be part of the BITP Fan Club. You'll get free stuff. Freeeeee stuuuufff. Until then, onward and upward!

-Jeff

El Segundo Youth Drama presents "Drood"

2010-01-11T08:11:00.000-08:00

El Segundo Youth Drama presents the Tony-Award winning musical "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" this Thursday. Based on Charles Dickens' unfinished novel, "Drood" features a loony Victorian theatre troupe who tells the story of Edwin Drood and his mysterious disappearance on a stormy Christmas Eve. Filled with murder, mystery, and mayhem, this hilarious whodunnit gets even zanier as the cast invites the audience to vote on the conclusion and finish where Dickens left off.

The show boasts a beautiful score, including "The Wage of Sin," "Both Sides of the Coin," and the hauntingly beautiful "Moonfall." Director Kristie Rutledge helms the production, with Chris Luthi musically directing and Lauren Blair choreographing.
