With music by Harvey Schmidt, book and lyrics by Tom Jones, this show became the world's longest running musical. Garrison Players presents the classic story of two young lovers who learn about life as their meddling parents plot their relationship. This show is a favorite to be enjoyed by the whole family.

The Cast....

Mark Boisvert (El Gallo) is ecstatic to be making his debut with the Garrison Players! Last fall, he was seen as Rooster in Annie with the Pittsfield Players. He is a graduate of Hofstra University in NY. Mark is currently pursuing a Masters in Elem. Education at Rivier College. He is co-owner of KidSpot Theatre Company in NH. Many thanks to his fantastick fan club!

Trevor Hess (Matt) is a senior at Somersworth High School this year, and he is very excited to be performing again with GP. He has been seen in several other shows, most recently as Gad in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Hackmatack Playhouse. Trevor has also been seen in productions at GP and at SHS; including, Pippin, Little Shop of Horrors, The Sound of Music, and Hello, Dolly!. This is his first leading role, and he is overjoyed that it is at the Garrison Players Arts Center. Trevor would like to thank his parents for carting him all over the place; his best friend Teri S. for getting him addicted to theatre; John S. for giving him this amazing opportunity; Brian L. for encouraging him to continue his involvement with GP; and finally Danni D. and her family for always encouraging him in his talents, and for being, by far, his biggest fans.


		Leslie Rosenberger (Luisa) is a junior at Somersworth High School. She loves theater and longs to be an opera singer. You may have seen her in Hello, Dolly as Minny Fay, Magic Flute, Wizard of OZ, and many other area productions. Although she is late to join the cast, she would like to thank everyone for their patience and warm welcome.

She has done theater off and on since high school, appearing in Into the Woods, Nunsense, and Ruthless. Her most recent work has been with Garrison Players in A Voice of Their Own. In her off time she likes to hike and hit people with sticks (not random people - she is an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronism - a medieval reconstruction group).
