Last December, our dear friend, Steven P. Sterlekar died.  Steven was active
in Cleveland's community theatre scene.  He had the gift of drawing people
together to share their time, talent, and treasure.  It was one of Steven's
dreams to one day produce Songs for a New World.  Perhaps it was so
important to him because he knew what the show represents.

Composer and lyricist, Jason Robert Brown, said about the show in January
2001, "Songs for a New World is a show that suggests that our best solution
for the stress and terror and anxiety we feel is to come together and form a
community that will support and uplift each other."  It seems ironic that he
would say this 9 months before one of the most terrifying events in our
nation's history.  And, at the end of that same year, Steven passed.

Let this production be an opportunity for us to "come together and form a
community"; a community of artists, friends, and family.  A cocktail
reception will follow each show; donations will be used to commission a
piece of music in Steven's honor to be presented by The North Coast Men's
Chorus.

Please join us, and unite in our community to remember, experience, and
enjoy.
