Dear Friends, Welcome to Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story, the rock and roll musical about the life and times of a young performer who, by the tender age of 21, had already emerged onto the 1950s-era American music scene having written, recorded and produced the mega hit songs “That’ll Be the Day” and “Peggy Sue.” His name was Charles Hardin Holley, a singer-songwriter-guitarist from Lubbock, Texas. Known popularly as Buddy Holly, he gained momentous fame in 1957 before dying in a plane crash just two years later alongside Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson ‘the Big Bopper,’ and the pilot. This event was immortalized in pop culture in Don McLean’s 1971 song “American Pie,” an ode to Holly’s life and the crash, or “the day the music died.” Holly was just 22 years old. The stage version of his life, Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story debuted on Broadway in 1990, having first opened in 1989 in London’s West End, where it ran for more than 12 years. This jukebox musical continues to be a favorite of audiences around the world. The University of Pittsburgh is conducting a research study of people who have trouble sleeping as well as healthy adults who sleep well to learn more about insomnia and how it is affected by a nonmedication treatment. To be eligible, you must be 60 or older and: • have difficulty falling or staying asleep or feel poorly rested after sleeping • or be a good sleeper at night and not feel sleepy during the daytime By sharing your time and participating, you may be able to help researchers find out more about improving sleep and quality of life in later years. Participants will be compensated for their time. For more information, please call toll free, 1-866-647-8283 or e-mail [email protected]. I’d like to thank each and every one of you for being our most wonderful audience, and I look forward to seeing those of you who are Pittsburgh CLO Season Ticket Holders back for Disney’s The Lion King, presented by special arrangement with The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. I also hope to see everyone very soon at the CLO Cabaret, where we’re currently reprising the comedy Defending the Caveman. (Seriously, laughing just never gets old.) I also hope to see you throughout the year at one of our education and community outreach programs, Gallery of Heroes musical tours in local schools or at the CLO Academy, where our city’s young performers are busy honing their skills. And, a reminder: It’s not too early to get your tickets to our 22nd annual production of A Musical Christmas Carol, playing at the Byham Theater December 6-22. Finally, I’d like to extend a very special thank you to our 24 interns who rolled up their sleeves to help us produce this action-packed summer. Most of them are returning to school, and my staff and I wish them well in their studies and hope they don’t forget us when they’re famous. Musical theater is a team sport that takes all the right people to pull off well. Whether you bought a ticket, showed patrons to their seats, teased a wig, moved a prop, played a horn, designed a brochure or took notes for a director, thank you for an incredibly rewarding 2013 season. Enjoy the show! Van Kaplan Executive Producer pittsburghCLO.org - 3 July 30 - August 4, 2013 PITTSBURGH CLO oh boy.

The nation’s top young performers were honored at the fifth annual National High School Musical Theater Awards (NHSMTA) on July 1 at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre in New York City. This program, a project of Pittsburgh CLO and the Broadway Education Alliance, aims to encourage students in the performing arts by providing unique access to the Broadway industry. This year, 62 high school students represented 31 regional awards programs from coast to coast. Constructing a Reputation for Excellence The Tony Award®-nominated stars of Broadway’s Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, hosted this year’s show.

Nothing brings a stage production to life quite like a show’s set. It is essential to telling a story and setting the scene. Pittsburgh CLO’s Construction Center for the Arts is Pittsburgh’s very own professional set building facility, and has played an important role in creating the sets used for this production of Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story. Located in Springdale, PA, the Construction Center has created the scenery for productions across the country since 1974. A team of professional designers, artists, carpenters and technical staff have been hard at work preparing for Pittsburgh CLO’s 2013 Summer Season.

In addition, the Construction Center stores and rents high-quality sets that give theater companies and schools the opportunity to use professional sets. This unique facility has more than 68,000 square feet of storage and workspace that can accommodate productions of any size.
