MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTORRANDAL HUBER

Looking for 55 supporting role players… June 4th, 1993 the Playbill Dining Room swung open its doors as the opening act of the Chemainus Theatre Experience. Founded solely to support the creation of theatre, the Playbill has served this purpose admirably and all proceeds from food service have been used to create and sustain the plays staged here at the Chemainus Theatre.

Twenty one seasons and 650,000 diners later, the venerable Playbill was looking dated and fatigued and we decided that it was time for a refresh. We carefully reviewed the feedback that we’ve received and assembled a team to set aboutre-creating the Playbill Dining Room.

As we launch our 2014 season, we’re pleased to report that the work is done and the result is elegant & dramatic. The Playbill

has embarked on a second act of its own. If you have yet to see it, please go have a look through the windows at intermission and then join us for dinner on your next visit.

Back to those supporting roles that need filling. This is a casting call of a different sort. We’re searching for 55 sponsors – one for each table in the dining room. It’s $400 to sponsor a table for four and $250 for a deuce. In return for this kind act ofgenerosity, we offer a charitable tax receipt along withheartfelt recognition on one of the table signs. Gettinginvolved is easy. You can stop by the box office for more details.

We thank the team from RW Bob Wall Construction and Patti Ransom Design for transforming our dining room – putting it in good stead to serve you for many seasons to come.

“a casting call of a different sort”


MARK DUMEZARTISTIC DIRECTOR

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTORMARK DUMEZ

The kick-off to a season of theatre is always a time to celebrate, and for the Chemainus Theatre Festival – which produces theatre 11 months a year, with over 330 performances – it’s a particularly good time. I’m very pleased to start the year off by bringing back The Buddy Holly Story with such a fine group of actors, multi-talented musicians and artists. In theatre we often design a show, build it, rehearse it, perform it and then “strike it” to live in memory. It’s always nice when a show can be remounted in other parts of the province or, in this case, when it comes back to roost on our boards. 2014 has shaped up to be an exciting and diverse season of theatre, from this modern musical to British and Italian family

comedies to stirring intellectual challenges – you can read all about it in the season brochure. I’d like to thank the dedicated season ticket subscribers, members,donors, sponsors and patrons who partner with this theatre in such lively,

creative and thoughtful ways. Through these vital partnerships and by purchasing a ticket for the show before you, you are supporting live professional theatre on Vancouver Island, the life and work of artists and creators, youth and family outreach programs and the Kidzplay Series – and building a strong and vibrant community along the coast of the Salish Sea. We are all part of something special here at the Chemainus Theatre Festival – something as uniquely crafted as the wind and wave carved rocks along our coast. Thank you – and enjoy the show.

BUDDYTHE BUDDYHOLLY STORY


DIRECTOR’S NOTES SARA-JEANNE HOSIE

Charles Hardin Holley, known to us as Buddy Holly, did what so many artists long to do. He made an everlasting mark in this world through his extraordinary talent. Determined, passionate, beautifully awkward, and honest, Buddy Holly, in an all-too brief career, changed the face of popular music.

As a singer/songwriter myself, and someone familiar with iconic life storytelling (Patsy Cline), I am truly honored and humbled to help bring Buddy’s story to life. I have been gifted with a team of talented artists, musicians, designers, and technical wizards; led beautifully by the seasoned and charismaticZachary Stevenson. I hope this date to the theatre will gift many of you with a trip down memory lane, and perhaps some, with a new found passion for this remarkable artist.

Whether you write music, play music, or listen to music, Buddy’s story challenges us all to live fully, speak boldly, dream big and to cherish every note… every moment. And hey, if that pair of eccentric glasses you bought make you happy… wear’em!

“One of the main things about the Beatles is that we started out writing our own material. People these days take it for granted that you do, but nobody used to then. John and I started to write because of Buddy Holly. It was like, ‘Wow! he writes and is a musician.... in our imaginations back then, John was Buddy and I was Little Richard or Elvis.”

—Paul McCartney of the Beatles, The Beatles Anthology, 2000

Proud supporter of the arts in Chemainus!

You’re about to witness the birth ofrock n’ roll.

At the Chemainus Theatre Festival, we’ve been reliving the days when the music of Bill Haley and The Comets, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis filled the airwaves. While the 1950’s saw the rise of manyfamous performers, the most inspiring tale is of one man who dominated the charts and revolutionized the country music scene – all in a mere 18 months.

We’re thrilled to bring back Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story, a jukebox musical that celebrates the short-lived career of an historic rock ‘n’ roll legend – and celebrate we have! The entire Festival team has been inspired by Holly’s unique gangly style, novel use of music phrasing and glottal stops (which became a hallmark of his “devil’s music”), and his dramatic life tale. Despite the decades since his untimely death, we continue to find his soundimpossible to resist.

Reviving Buddy was no small endeavour. The show moves swiftly from moments of nerdy charm to hothead hyperactivity, stubborn smarts to artistic genius, and times of emotional turmoil. As we explored deeper into his dream of “playing his music his way”, we realized just how impressively talented Holly, and his band


The Crickets, were – pure performers; no tricks, no air guitar.

It was all about the music for Holly, and The Festival’s artistic team has done him proud. Countless hours have been spent dancing across the stage (and up the aisles) as we prepared over 20 of Holly’s greatest hits. If practice makes perfect, we’re sure you’ll find every note from Holly’s first hit single, That’ll Be The Day, to his final performance with the BigBopper (Chantilly Lace) and Ritchie Valens (La Bamba) to be pure entertainment.

While we enjoy the happy moments of Holly’s story, the times of strife and tragedy are just as important to understanding his incredible achievements. Just as the world was getting used to his new kind of music, a 1959 plane crash took the 22 year-old’s life (along with fellow musicians The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens). The loss was mourned far and wide, and has become a global legend. Since opening in London’s West End in 1989, Buddy, written by Alan Janes, has become the “world’s most successful rock ‘n’ roll musical”. Over 22 million music fans have seen the show – from the UK to Broadway, and throughout the Americas, South Africa, Norway, Japan, Israel,Iceland, and beyond.

Mastering the fast-moving scenes of songs and narrative is director andchoreographer, Sara-Jeanne Hosie, whom audiences may recognize from recent The Chemainus Theatre Festival productions Chickens (2012) and A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline (2011). Her musical theatre experience, both on and off stage, have struck the perfect balance between

“You’re aboutto witnessthe birth ofrock n’ roll!”


rollicking concert fun and emotionally-charged dramatics. The essence of the famous performer is alive and well under Hosie’s leadership.

Also alive and well is veteran Buddy star, Zachary Stevenson. Assuming the title role, he shows passion for (and uncanny reflection of) the iconic songwriter and composer. Stevenson ignites hit after hit, and inspires a top-notch ensemble of highly-energetic triple-threats.

Holly had a short career, but left a big story to tell, and our cast flawlessly assumes multiple roles to meet the challenge. Our thanks to: Kraig Waye (Joe B. Mauldin),

Daniel Pitout (Jerry Allison), Greg Barry (Hipockets Duncan/Big Bopper), Jess Amy Shead (Maria Elena/Snow Bird),

Darren Burkett (Ritchie Valens), Scott Perrie (Hayrider/4th Cricket), Christopher King (Musical Director & Norman Petty), Brad L’Écuyer (Murray Deutch/Hayrider), Janet Gigliotti (Vi Petty/Snow Bird), Sarah Carlé (Peggy Sue/Snow Bird), and Jenni Burke (Apollo Performer/Snow Bird) for dedicat-ing their talent to the show. We applaud the production team who have re-created the scene of 1950’s hellfire and nostalgia, including: Omanie Elias, Set Designer;Rebekah Johnson, Lighting Designer; Norma Bowen, Costume Designer;Paul Tedeschini, Sound Designer and David Baughan, Stage Manager.

It has been a pleasure to bring Buddy back to the Chemainus Theatre Festival, and we welcome you to relive Holly’s own creative exhaustion, his urge to break away from tradition, and the freedom of letting the rock ‘n’ roll spirit take over!
