<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Hudson
Players are currently celebrating their 65<sup>th</sup> Season of providing great
theater and arts to the area and they are doing it with fun and a little bit of
flair. Currently they are planning to open <i>City of Angels</i> (their final
show of the 65<sup>th</sup> Season) on April 30<sup>th</sup> with a
1940’s style red carpet premier event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“We
have the red carpet and velvet ropes ready to go along with a few other
surprises and atmosphere,” said Gary Maher, Hudson Players Board
Member. “Opening night audiences are encouraged to arrive early as it
should be a lot of fun for all. While not required, the audience is also
encouraged to dress up to get in on the fun. We also have invited the local
leaders, council and some other dignitaries to attend and have already received
some positive responses. Thus we’re expecting it to be quite the event
for all. There will even be an audience reception with the cast and crew
afterwards, featuring complimentary appetizers at the Rosewood Grill in
Hudson”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The group
believes the highlight of the evening will be their presentation of <i>City of
Angels</i>, the jazzy, award winning musical comedy that will run through May
22. Tickets are on sale now at <a href="http://www.hudsonplayers.com/">www.HudsonPlayers.com</a>
and are expected to go fast. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“This
is a great musical with a good story and music that the audience will love,”
said Mark Judy, current Hudson Players President. “With the high number
of awards it won during its original run and the fun presented by its unique
format, we really saw <i>City of Angels</i> as a show that our patrons and
members would love. When we then add in the hard work of our terrific
cast and crew, we see it as a fantastic capper to our 65<sup>th</sup>
anniversary season.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was the winner of 6 Tony Awards (including best musical), 12 Drama Desk
Awards (including Outstanding Musical), the 1990 Edgar Award for Best Play and
5 Olivier Awards (including Best New Musical). While all are encouraged to
attend, it is not recommended for children due to its mature subject matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the rarest of musical comedies; one that is not only loaded with music and
written in the contemporary jazz idiom, but also filled with sidesplitting
comedy. Set in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the 40's, the world of
film studios and flimsy negligees, the show chronicles the misadventures of
Stine, a young novelist, attempting a screenplay for movie producer/director,
Buddy Fidler and his alter ego and book detective character of Stone, prone to
decadence and homicide with a liberal sprinkling of femmes’ fatale. The
musical weaves together the two plots into one, while showcasing two distinct
musical scores. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
