TSP IS 40 YEARS YOUNG in 2008
TSP is celebrating its 40th anniversary and needs all members to rejoin----give us your talents, support and insight as we begin another new season at the Opera House. Remember that $15 will provide you a free ticket to the November play HARVEY and the March musical, MUSICAL OF MUSICALS: THE MUSICAL
Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager presented the TownSquare Players, Inc. board with a proclamation commemorating the 40th anniversary of TSP at the Nov. 4, 2008 City Council meeting. The proclamation, which mentions that TSP has produced 76 shows (including our November 2008 production of "Harvey"), was accepted by current TSP president Paul Lockwood, immediate past president Lou Czarny, the rest of the current board (Vice President Regina Belt, Secretary Gina Micci, Treasurer Lynne Kreisman, and directors-at-large Dan Kreisman, Deb Spitzbart, and Char Ulanowski), Webmistress Rae Pfundt, and three of the founding members of TSP -- Karen Wells, and Bob & Gloria Carr. Paul made a brief statement of appreciation after the proclamation. The proclamation plaque will be posted at the Opera House or Stage Left Café in a visible location.

An outstanding performance
To the editor:
Congratulations to TownSquare Players, not only for their 40th anniversary but for one of the best shows they have ever produced.
First, "The Musical of Musicals" is new material -- new to the Woodstock Opera House stage, that is. But beyond that, it is terrific material, clever, witty and funny.
Second, the performers were outstanding. It is almost hard to believe that we have talent of this caliber in this area. They have great voices and stage presence; one would expect to see their equals on Broadway.
And third, Geoffrey King, narrator/piano, was pure dynamite.
But wait, there's more. This was a production that required many hands to create such excellence, so to every single person, not only on stage but behind the scenes as well, congratulations and thanks for such an exhilarating theater experience.
Sherry Anderson, Woodstock

Local treasuresTo the editor:
Sometimes it is good to be reminded of something many of us already know - TownSquare Players and the Woodstock Musical Theatre Company are outstanding local treasures.
I was able to see the last two productions at the Woodstock Opera House, "Foreigner," - presented by the TownSquare Players; and "Moon Over Buffalo," presented by the Woodstock Musical Theatre Company. Both were very well done and highly entertaining.
The two production companies are a credit to their elegant venue, the Opera House.
It was gratifying to hear the comment of a woman from Batavia seated near me, "I come to the plays in Woodstock because it is easier than going to Chicago."
