<DIV align=center><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5>The Sunshine Boys Opens
December 11</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=center><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The
Canal Fulton Players will be presenting the wonderful comedy by Neil Simon,
<EM>The Sunshine Boys</EM>, on December 11-13 and December 18-20, 2009.
The play, which is a Samuel French production, will be presented in two
acts at The Community Connections Theatre, 2391 Locust Street, Canal Fulton,
Ohio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>There are several new items connected to this production. This
is the first time that any production has been totally presented off the
premises of the Canal Fulton United Methodist Church. This was done
because there were several church events that needed the Fellowship Hall in
December.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The
second new item is that this production will be presented completely on a
stage. Instead of using the environmental theatre concept, the production
staff decided to not only use the small stage provided by Community Connections
but also to use a portable stage built by the stage crew of the Players.
The portable stage measures twenty four feet long, eight feet wide and thirteen
inches high. This was done because several patrons had trouble seeing the
performances of <EM>On Golden Pond</EM> and <EM>Once Upon a Mattress</EM>.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The
third new item is that this production is being directed by veteran actress Mary
Mahoney who appeared as Chelsea in <EM>On Golden Pond. </EM>After twenty
one productions, David Van Gaasbeek has moved up into the producer's role
solely. By doing this, it allows him to expand the theatre program and
also expand the manner in which the Players will be presenting their productions
in the future. Already, Mr. Van Gaasbeek is meeting with two organizations
which will allow the Players to present other types of drama and comedy in the
Canal Fulton area. Mr. Van Gaasbeek is excited since what he
originally proposed would happen for the sixth year of this program is
coming to fruition. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The
cast is an excellent one which has a great deal of experience and talent.
Leading the way as "The Sunshine Boys" are Steve Ryan and Ken Hehmeyer who play
Willie Clark and Al Lewis. Steve is debuting on our stage after a long
career with other theatres. His wife, Linda, appeared as Ethel in <EM>Moon
Over Buffalo. </EM>Ken returns to our stage after endearing himself to the
audiences during March when he played crusty but lovable Norman Thayer Jr. in
<EM>On Golden Pond.</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><EM><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT></EM> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Matt
King plays Willie's nephew and agent, Ben Silverman. The rest of the cast
consists of Duane Acker as "The Patient," Sarah Price as "Nursey Nurse," Irene
White as "The Nurse", and Josh Rowe as "Eddie." "The Voice of the
Director" is portrayed by Mr. Van Gaasbeek.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV align=left><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Admission is $7.00 for adults and $5.00 for seniors and children under
the age of twelve. For further information and directions, please call Mr.
Van Gaasbeek at 330-494-1022 and 330-854-4387.</FONT></DIV>
