From The Hip!
In March of 1991, I took my girlfriend to
Manhattan for a “dinner and show birthday
date.” We had orchestra seats for Phantom
of the Opera, which was the “hot” musical
on Broadway at that time. One of the opening scenes has Rauol (Vicomte de Chagny)
seated in a balcony overlooking a performance of the Paris Opera Company. I leaned
over to Mary Jean and told her that the
actor playing Rauol looked familiar. She
looked down at her program and told me
that his name was Hugh Panaro. I responded that “I went to school with him,” to
which she replied, “Great, then we can go
backstage after the show and meet him.”
Hugh Panaro ’82 and Christopher Carabello ’82 after
I was uncertain how Hugh would respond to
a recent performance of Lestat
an unannounced visit, so I decided to unveil
our dinner plans and reservation at The Rainbow Room, which seemingly usurped any additional
thoughts of going backstage. Two years to the day, Mary Jean and I were engaged. Fifteen
birthdays later, we traveled back to New York for another dinner and show. Once again, we
watched Hugh Panaro, but this time he was starring in the title role in the new Elton John musical
Lestat. After the show we did go backstage and I caught up with my classmate in his dressing
room located in the bowels of the Palace Theater.
We talked about La Salle and the influence that Joe “Mr. C” Ciccimaro had on his career. During
the course of our conversation, Mary Jean referred to Mr. C. as Joe. Hugh smiled and said, “He
will always be Mr. C.” I laughed and proceeded to explain that the transition between colleague
and former teacher was one of the most difficult adjustments that I had to make when I returned
to La Salle. Brothers remained Brother, but Mr. Hohenlietner, Mr. Grace, Mr. Russell, Mr. Miller,
and Mr. O’Toole, to name but a few, became George, John, Bob, Gerry, and Mike. It was only
recently that Mr. Devine insisted that I call him Pat. Despite the evolution from titles to first
names, there remain three exceptions – the holy trinity of the La Salle faculty – Mr. Diehl,
Mr. Stanczak, and Mr. C.
The fact of the matter is that I am still intimidated by Mr. Diehl, so the name Dave would
never leave my mouth when speaking to him or about him. The man is a legend, not to mention
that visions of that little office give me nightmares. He is the consummate survivor having
managed to successfully outlast, outwit, and outplay four decades of La Salle students and their
parents. Although he may not know it, Mr. Stanczak is my personal role model for a “La Salle
Gentleman.” He epitomizes everything that is La Salle College High School and is La Salle’s
favorite son. He is the consummate combination of character and class. I have learned more from
him than any other member of the faculty. He may be Marty to others, but out of sheer respect
I can and never will call him anything but Mr. Stanczak. I am not even remotely musically inclined;
therefore, I never had any interaction with Mr. C while a student and it has only been recently
that I have gotten to know the incredible individual who has transformed our Music Department
into one of the finest high school programs on the East Coast. Mr. C took a personal interest in
my communications and marketing efforts at La Salle. His passion for La Salle College High School
energized me, while his unconditional love for the institution inspired me to overcome challenges
and work to create something truly special. Had I known what I know today, I would have
learned to play a musical instrument.
It is no coincidence that all three are alums. Including their time as students, Mr. David Diehl ’55,
Mr. Martin Stanczak ’60, and Mr. Joseph Ciccimaro ’57 represent 137 years of service to La Salle
College High School. Banners representing our new graduate profiles now hang throughout
our campus. Apart from associating the word compassion with Mr. Diehl, these three men could
easily depict any of the four categories: Men of Intellect and Accomplishment, Men of Faith
and Compassion, Men of Service and Justice, and Men of Integrity and Respect. Perhaps
we should hang banners for each of them and simply title them “The Man.”

Letter from the President
Dear Friends,
It has been one year since my return to La Salle College High School. Aside from the school community adjusting to new leadership, we have been busy with a number of major projects. High among the activities has been our self-study in preparation for
the Middle States Evaluation scheduled for the spring of 2007. The year-long process has been supervised by Nick Coggins of our
World Language Department, who assembled a hard-working team of faculty and staff and conducted an outstanding review.
The team created a new mission statement (see below) along with a set of belief statements. Additionally, in the process of profiling our students, the team selected four key areas to describe our graduates: Men of Intellect and Accomplishment, Men of
Service and Justice, Men of Faith and Compassion, and Men of Integrity and Respect. These descriptions now hang on banners
throughout our campus to serve as a reminder to our students of the attributes toward which they should strive.
In addition to the self-study, a feasibility study was completed in preparation for a major capital campaign that will coincide with
the150th anniversary of our founding. The $25 million undertaking will be the largest in our history as well as the most important. At the completion of the study, it became clear that despite rising tuition, La Salle had to concentrate on increasing its
endowment to permit boys from working-class families to experience that education that we have grown to cherish. A second
priority will be to expand and renovate our academic buildings to accommodate a student body of over 1,050. La Salle has been
faced with a series of “good problems” in that interest in our school continues to increase while other schools face decreasing
enrollment and other challenges. Almost fortuitously, La Salle was presented with an opportunity this year to acquire additional
land, which will be key to fulfilling our long range facilities expansion plan. Last month, we purchased thirty acres along the
Route 309 corridor adjacent to our campus, part of which will be used to accommodate two new sports fields. Further down the
road, additional athletic facilities, including a field house and a new pool, are being planned. Through these efforts, La Salle is
positioning itself to enhance its range of offerings to young men of the Delaware Valley.
Some of the highlights of the year included nine seniors being recognized as National Merit Finalists along with twenty-one
National Merit Commended Students. Our athletic teams captured five Catholic League Championships and finished second in
four other sports. In all, over 120 of our athletes received All-Catholic honors in thirteen sports. Over 400 students participated in
our Music Program and ended the year capturing first place in the University of the Arts Tri-State Band Competition. One of the
highlights this spring was a wonderful production of the musical Godspell along with various band and choral concerts. Arts
Week featured an incredible display of ceramic work, paintings, and drawings that our talented students created during the year.
The year culminated with the awarding of 248 diplomas to the Class of 2006 who were accepted to 198 colleges and universities
in thirty-five different states and earned just over $17 million in documented scholarships and grants. The boys shared the stage
that day with sixty members of the Class of 1956 who returned for their 50-Year Reunion.
I wish to thank the entire La Salle Family for making 2005–06 one of the most successful years in our long and storied history.
Without your support of our Annual Fund, as well as Alumni and Parent programs, many of our achievements would not have
been possible. You can be proud to be part of La Salle College High School as our spirit continues to grow stronger.
Sincerely,
President

The 23rd Annual La Salle Arts Festival showcased works from over
thirty students for an entire week. Excellence in Art Awards were
presented to exceptional pieces. The students’ displays, especially the
collaborative project, Signing Alphabet Book, definitely proved that
art promotes critical and diverse thinking. Six students participated in
the 28th Annual Montgomery County Invitational High School
Exhibition and Competition, which ran from March 5 – 26, 2006 in the
Multiple Choice Gallery in Brendlinger Library located in College Hall:
John Buonomo ’06, Tom Cleary ’06, Travis Eddy ’06 (Honorable Mention
for his wire sculpture), Mike Fazio ’07, Patrick Playdon ’06, James
Prendergast ’06, and Justin Price ’07 (2nd Place in Sculpture).
Under the direction of head coach William Leahy, the La Salle Varsity
Lacrosse team captured their thirteenth Philadelphia Catholic League
Championship by defeating St. Joseph’s Prep 10–7 on May 17, 2006 at
St. Joseph’s University.
The Golf Team, under the guidance of coaches Marty Jackson and Dave
Diehl ’55, clinched its tenth Philadelphia Catholic Championship in the
past eleven years. Seniors Alex Muller and Tom Cowhey, along with
juniors Anthony Gianetti, Reed Irwin, and Kevin Turk, and freshman
Kevin Genuardi were named All-Catholic.
The Band’s Spring Concert was held on Monday, May 8, 2006 and
featured over 200 musicians. The Choral Concert, held the following
week on Monday, May 15, 2006, featured La Salle’s chorus groups
under the direction of Mark Norman.
The African-American Alumni Association held its Student and Family
Dinner on May 25, 2006 in an effort to increase the awareness of
La Salle College High School’s commitment to diversity. Events such
as the dinner help to promote La Salle’s continuing efforts in improving the recruitment of African-American students. The event provided
a great opportunity for African-American alums and current students
to spend some time together and develop relationships.
Joe Meade ’97, the featured speaker at the event, certainly gave
insight as to what La Salle has to offer and that creed or color
certainly has nothing to do with a quality education.
Even though the school year was over, sixteen La Salle students
kept their promise of “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve” on a trip to
Pike County, KY in June. The student volunteers assisted Habitat
for Humanity in building and repairing houses for the homeless.
They were accompanied by Tom Devlin ’00, a member of the La Salle
faculty, who was glad to see his boys take on such a big summer
project after doing so much during the year in the Philadelphia
community.
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you…
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you…
Open up your mind, let your
fantasies unwind,
In this darkness which you know
you cannot fight –
The darkness of the music of the night.
These powerful lyrics have resonated from the Majestic
Theater in New York since Michael Crawford originated the
title role in Phantom of the Opera in 1988. Since then, ten
men have starred as the Phantom, including La Salle’s own
Hugh Panaro ’82. Hugh’s 1,055 performances are second
only to Howard McGillan, who has played the role over
1,200 times. Hugh is also one of only two actors to play
both male leads, the Phantom and Rauol, in the Andrew
Lloyd Webber musical that has become the longest running
show on Broadway. Hugh began his career in Phantom of
the Opera in 1990 when he got a call to audition for the
role of Rauol. The man playing the Phantom, Kevin Gray,
was on the younger side, so they needed a younger Rauol.
Legendary producer, Hal Prince, liked him and at the age
of 25, Hugh was cast in the role.
The Man Behind The Mask Continued
Hugh Panaro ’82 playing the title role in Martin Guerre.
Hugh left Phantom of the Opera in 1993 to portray Julian
Craster in The Red Shoes, a musical that played at the
Gershwin Theater for only a short time. He followed that
by originating the role of Buddy Foster in Side Show at the
Richard Rogers Theater. He was then reunited with Harold
Prince in the revival of Show Boat, where he was cast as
Gaylord Ravenal, a role he portrayed in Toronto, London,
and Broadway. In 1999, the actor playing the Phantom was
having problems with his voice and requested a leave of
absence from the show. The producers asked Hugh if he
would be interested in playing the role for nine months.
Panaro agreed to assume the high-profile role and wore
the mask for a few months before he was chosen play the
title role in the American premiere of Cameron
Mackintosh’s (Les Miserables, Miss Saigon) new musical,
Martin Guerre. The show had a poor tour in the United
States, but Hugh moved to London to play the role in the
West End. Three and a half years later, the role of the
Phantom became available when Howard McGillin left to
do Bounce. Panaro was able to step back into the role that
he had played in 1999 and readily admits that he was
much better the second time around.
When asked what it is like to wear the Phantom mask on
Broadway, Panaro replied, “I won’t lie – pretty good. I
can’t imagine that this isn’t every guy’s corny dream job.
It’s the most fulfilling role that I’ve ever had and by far the
most complex. It was always a work in progress, at least for
me.” Hugh added, “The audiences (for Phantom of the
Opera) are amazing. Every night is a different audience
and I’d go out there and give 100 percent.” Hugh was
quick to reveal the downside of the role, which is physically
putting on the mask. “The makeup takes a full hour. The
glue needs time to set. The bald cap and prosthetic pieces,
a microphone that gets glued to my face, two wigs, and
the white fiberglass and leather masks…it is a full hour
in the chair.”
Hugh’s last performance as the Phantom came on October
1, 2005. Following the curtain call, his co-star, Sandra
Joseph, asked the audience to be seated. She said,
“Tonight was the final show for our wonderful Phantom.
Hugh is leaving us to star in Elton John’s brand new
musical, Lestat, which opens at the Palace Theater in April.
I know that I will be the first in line (for tickets), because
anything that Hugh Panaro is a part of is not to be missed.
This kind of God-given talent is unsurpassed and his
singing, acting, and natural ability are remarkable. But
what is even more remarkable is the kind of person that he
is. He comes out here eight times a week and just pours his
heart and soul into each performance. He never takes any
of his gifts for granted and he just sets the bar so high
for all of us – he lifts us up and makes us better. Although
he can come out here night after night and make you cry,
backstage, he makes us laugh and brings such joy
into the room.”
Hugh began working on Lestat last fall. The musical
inspired by the vampire characters of novelist Anne Rice is
the inaugural Broadway production of Warner Brothers
Theatre Ventures. The world premiere of the musical,
which features a score by Bernie Taupin and Elton John
(The Lion King, Aida), was at the Curran Theater in
San Francisco, where it grossed over $4.3 million, breaking
the record previously held by Wicked.
When Hugh first heard about Lestat, he couldn’t get an
audition. Hugh said, “My agent told me there was no
interest in me, so I let it go. Two years later, they let me try
out. No matter how much experience you have, you always
have to prove yourself. Tyne Daly once said in an interview
that not only does she still have to audition, she wants to.
Even if it’s only for five minutes, she says it’s her chance to
play that role. I look at it the same way. I don’t go into an
audition to impress anyone. I pretend the role is mine.” In
the audition for Lestat, Panaro sang the Jean Valjean

Freedom of the City at La Salle College High School.

Sililoguy from Les Miserables. Hugh added, “I knew Lestat
because I’d read the books. He and I are parallel. Like him,
I’ve gone through a lot of painful real life experiences,
such as deaths in my family and the deaths of my colleagues to AIDS. I’ve been in this business since I was
twelve, and you have to find that fire in you, despite whatever showbiz throws your way.” When asked to compare
the role of the Phantom to that of Lestat, Panaro responded that the two are very different. “I love this character.
Doing Lestat is so much more physical than Phantom of the
Opera. I beat the crap out of Armand and carry Nicholas
on my back. I’m at the chiropractor every other day.”
less than a hundred women standing and waiting for Hugh
to emerge. Hugh stopped and greeted each of them –
signing autographs and posing for pictures. Even after a
physically-demanding two and a half hour performance, he
was gracious, charming, and above all, humble.
Hugh began performing professionally at the age of thirteen. While a student at La Salle College High School, he
had roles in both musicals – Godspell (1979) during his
freshman year and Pippin (1980) while a sophomore – and
performed in both fall dramas. Theater productions at
La Salle took a leave of absence from 1981–1985; unfortunately, Hugh never got to truly star in a musical performance at his Alma Mater. He is the “Paul Arizin of La Salle
Theater,” having starred professionally, but never having
had the opportunity to shine while at La Salle College
High School.
Following La Salle, Hugh went on to graduate from Temple
University where he was an active member of their theater
department. He landed the role of Marius in the National
Tour of Les Miserables in 1988 and reprised the role on
Broadway through 1990, when he was given the opportunity to audition for Phantom of the Opera.
Panaro has countless admirers. If you Google him, you will
find a number of fan web sites that praise his talents and
chronicle his career. “I have never been to my web sites…I
find the Internet to be a scary thing,” confesses Panaro.
Following a recent performance of Lestat, the rope line
outside the backstage door of the Palace Theater had no
Whether it is his powerful tenor voice, his six-foot physically-fit frame and chiseled features, his stage persona, his visage, or his incredible God-given talent, Hugh Panaro ’82 is
one of Broadway’s leading men. “I always tell people: If
you want magnificent singing and beautiful line and pearshaped tones, then you should head uptown and go to the
New York City Opera,” Hugh says adding, “the great thing
about musical theater is it is about acting through song…If
you just go out there and sing pretty music, I think that
the audience is going to disconnect.” “Whether singing
Stephen Sondheim or Andrew Lloyd Webber,” Panaro says,
“The emotion is the target I try to hit with perfect pitch.”

On the first day of school each year, a new class
begins its career at La Salle with an age-old tradition.
The timid freshmen congregate in the auditorium
and celebrate their first day with a resounding chorus
of the Alma Mater (conducted by Mr. Stanczak,
of course). Although many of these freshmen do not
continue singing throughout their careers at La Salle,
a special few will embrace their vocal talents, and
proudly join the ranks of La Salle’s Chorus.

With a long history of excellence in the vocal arts, La Salle’s
distinguished choral program continues to stand out above those
of other schools. The program consists of three major singing
ensembles. There is the Freshman Chorus, which allows
the 9th-graders to develop their fundamental singing skills
and knowledge of music. As sophomores, La Salle’s vocalists
graduate to the Upperclassmen Chorus. This ensemble sings
more advanced music, most in four-part harmony.
Upperclassmen may also sing with the Belcrofters, La Salle’s
prestigious, auditioned choral group. The Belcrofters sing some
of the most challenging a cappella arrangements available,
without any instrumental accompaniment.
ChorusContinued
These talented young men showcase their singing abilities
throughout the school year at the annual Christmas concert,
spring concert, and various other school events. In addition, the
Belcrofters often sing at choral adjudications, where they are
judged on their vocal abilities and the quality of their performance. This year, the Belcrofters attended one such competition
where they received enthusiastic praise for their renditions of
“Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Sing Me to Heaven”.
La Salle’s finest vocalists have earned recognition on an individual level as well. All-Catholic Chorus is an ensemble that includes
only the best singers from local Catholic high schools. After
completing the rigorous audition process, John Buonomo ’06,
Chris Imms ’06, Matt Dominick ’07, Chip Hinkel ’07, and
Brendan Dalton ’06 earned the privilege of performing with this
esteemed choir.
Such recent recognition in the choral arts is no mere accident,
however. Choral Director Mark Norman, now entering his third
year as head of the program, has revitalized the chorus with his
passion for and knowledge of the choral arts. Mr. Norman’s
presence has truly fostered a sense of community among the
singers, and helped them develop their skills on an individual
level as well.
When the class of 2010 arrives on the first day of school next
September, the walls of the auditorium will resonate with the
tune of the hallowed Alma Mater. These students will undoubtedly lend their diverse talents to numerous worthwhile activities
and sports. However, rest assured that some of those voices will
carry on the storied tradition of the choral arts at La Salle.
by Evan Regan-Levine ’07
La Salle is characterized by its unity. That oneness is formed
out of many seemingly disparate elements. One of those parts
is the La Salle music program. Its constant yet dynamic
presence is something that we, the Men of La Salle, have come
to appreciate and even expect. Despite this familiarity, our
musicians never fail to surprise and impress and there are
always calls for an encore. What many people probably wonder,
however, as they watch the various young men on stage, is
how we got there, what we do there, and what it is like during
the school year. As a current member of the La Salle music
program I will tell you.
How did we get there? This question is asked both by the
teachers and even the parents of the young men on stage. As
one of those men on stage, I will start by explaining my
entrance into music at La Salle. Before I was a freshman, I
received a note asking me to come to an audition at La Salle.
You see, I had played violin for a number of years and I had
made that fact known to someone at La Salle who eventually
passed it on to Mr. Ciccimaro. As I came into the music room I
took my first look around. The first thing I saw was another
freshman looking very nervous sitting with his mother in the
front of the room. I waited and waited. Finally, a man came up
to me and asked me to come into his office. I played my piece
and tried to sum up the reaction of the intense man who
looked at me from across his desk. As I waited in silence, he
said to me, “The Trombone isn’t an instrument many young
people take up these days.” I was thunderstruck. I began to get
nervous. Was my violin playing not good enough? Did I make a
big mistake? What did the trombone even look like? Before I
could think of anything, I blurted out that yes, I would play the
trombone. The man smiled and then instead of simply showing
me out of his office looked at the things I had brought into the
room with me. One of those things was a car brochure. When
he saw that he began to ask me about different kinds of cars.
One thing led to another, and by the time I left, Mr. C (the
name I had learned to call him), had told me to come to Jazz
camp over the summer where I could both play the violin and
learn the trombone. My experience that day was not unique.
Many freshmen who hope to enter the music program attend
these auditions. The personal attention I received, and the interest Mr. Ciccimaro showed in me was not unique either. It is part
of the respect he grants to everyone who is willing to work hard
and have guts enough to try. This is how I started out in the
music program, and it is how many others started out as well.
BandContinued
percussion ensemble, and the saxophone ensemble are all
examples of groups that cater to particular instruments or
groups of instruments.
Despite being comprised of students from different skill levels,
all of the musical groups at La Salle work along similar lines.
From freshman year onward, I have adapted to this system
which has worked very well for a number of years. Generally, all
of the musicians arrive to class and sit with their instruments in a
group. Mr. Ciccimaro or Mr. Vettori then leads the group in a
rehearsal of pieces appropriate to the skill level of the band.
During this time, different teachers remove students from the
class to attend their lessons. Small ensemble teachers organize
their groups a little differently. The string ensemble for example,
hosts its teacher once a week, with either Mr. Vettori or
Mr. Ciccimaro conducting every other day. This is different
however from the guitar ensemble, whose teacher
Mr. Kennedy teaches them every day they meet.
When I formally became a member of the La Salle band as a
Freshman I learned the ways in which this organization functioned. Like everything else at our school, the music program is
built on tradition, but is not burdened by it. As a new student, I
learned that every year students elected other students as band
officers. These officers would conduct the pep band at football
games, lead their peers at other occasions, appoint other officers, and work with Mr. Ciccimaro and Mr. Vettori on special
projects. This was and is a practice that is repeated year after
year. I also learned that music class was going to be part of my
everyday roster of classes and activities. This meant that music
wasn’t necessarily something I had to give up other after-school
activities for, but rather, a class just like English or Math, that I
would attend every day. These classes, as I soon discovered, were
made up not only of ensemble playing, but also of private
instruction at least once a week by professional musicians. In
fact, all of the music teachers at La Salle are professionals. In
addition to applying their considerable expertise to teaching,
these people are a resource for students who wish to pursue
music as a profession. I also learned that the young musicians at
La Salle are split up into classes based on skill level. Most students enter the music program as a member of one of the
“freshmen second period”, bands. These bands meet every
other letter day and serve to introduce students to music
through group playing and private lessons. Following their freshman year, students are placed into one of three different classes
based on their level of musicianship. Some students are assigned
to the “sixth period” band which is the next step up from freshman band. Others are chosen for the “seventh period” or “fifthperiod bands”. Seventh period band is made up of musicians
who are more skilled than those attending the sixth-period band.
The most skilled musicians become part of the fifth-period band.
This fifth-period band is the most advanced regularly scheduled
band at La Salle. The competition band and the pit orchestra
draw their members primarily from this ensemble. Besides these
bands, the La Salle music program also features several small
ensembles. The guitar ensemble, the string ensemble, the
The scheduled band classes are only a part of what it means to
be a La Salle musician. As I learned before even starting at
La Salle, musicians can be found everywhere. Students volunteer
their time to play in the pep band at football games, around
school during the open house, in the pit orchestra for the
La Salle spring musical, and at a myriad of other events such as
the principal’s dinner, the scholarship dinner, “La Sale”, and
more. The majority of La Salle musicians also participate in the
concert band. One of our most well-known bands is our competition band. That band, under the leadership of Mr. Joe Vettori
has been a powerful player in the local high school jazz band
world for some time. They continue to make all of us at La Salle
proud with such achievements as a victory at the prestigious
University of the Arts competition this year.
Although these established components of the music program
form the backbone of the program, we continue to innovate.
Recent years have witnessed upgrades to the digital music studio
and in-house production of our competition band’s CDs using
such technology as digital recording equipment and our acoustically-designed rehearsal and recording space. These types of
advances help the La Salle music program to remain on the cutting-edge.
Although all of the aspects of the program I talked about are
wonderful and exciting, after three years working with my
teachers and my friends (not mutually exclusive groups) I have
discovered that the music program is especially about
camaraderie and cooperation. No group would sound effective
without all of its members playing together and combining their
talents. That is what makes a musical success, not just the skills
of individual band members. In the La Salle music program
however it goes beyond just necessary cooperation. I have met
many of my best friends while we were playing into the night at
a football game, or sitting in the pit at a rehearsal the night
before the musical opened. That set of friends would not be
complete without mentors like Mr. Ciccimaro and Mr. Vettori,
people who exemplify the spirit of La Salle. Because of this and
because of its extraordinary success both as a performance
group and as a unifying force, I believe that the music program
will be as important to future generations of students as it
is to me.
by Christopher G. DiLella ’06
This past year, La Salle presented two very powerful
productions, A Man for All Seasons and Godspell, with underlying themes of kindness and standing up for what one believes
is right. I was very fortunate to be given the leading role in
both these productions – Sir Thomas More and Jesus,
respectively. Despite the fact that, yes, I was executed at the
end of both shows, the overall experience truly has been a
memorable one. Both roles had provided me with what seemed
to be insurmountable challenges. However, I was surrounded in
both instances with a talented cast of dedicated students and
a highly supportive production staff, which, I’ve come to
realize, is what La Salle theatre has always been about since
its inception.
“At La Salle, we follow the directives of Saint John Baptist de
La Salle – that a student’s education should include the arts,”
says Joe Ciccimaro ‘57, or as he is known at La Salle, “Mr. C.”
For the past 39 years, Mr. C has taught as well as served as
Chair of the Music Department.
As a student in the 1950’s, Mr. C recalls playing before and at
intermission of the dramas – as was the manner of professional
theatre at the time. Mr. C’s first show was Mr. Moore’s
production of Three Men on a Horse in his senior year (1957).
Eleven years later, in 1968, La Salle’s first musical theatre director
and producer, Brother Gene Graham, initiated La Salle’s theatre
department as we know it today. Brother Gene grew up in West
Philadelphia, attended West Catholic High School and La Salle
College, and had many ties to Broadway, including his great
friendships with Broadway producer David Merrick and legendary songwriter, Cy Coleman. “Brother Gene Graham was a
wonderful director. He had a great way of finding talent at
La Salle. Some of the original cast would never have considered
being on the stage. He knew how to find them and convince
them to be a part of the production. He was unique…” says
Father Tony Janton ’69, who played the Mayor in La Salle’s first
musical, Bye Bye Birdie, in his junior year.
Admission for the shows in the 60’s was $5 (at the time,
the price for Broadway shows was about $9), and ran for
two weekends.
Brother Gene developed close friendships with other memorable
figures who were part of the production staff at the time:
Jean Williams, choreographer; Bob Bolsover, vocal director;
and Gerry Lehey, set and costume designer. For his third
production, Brother Gene got Mr. C involved as part of the
production staff; the group worked on shows at both
La Salle and Archbishop Wood.
TheatreContinued
Chris DiLella ’06 stars as Joe Carroll, a Jesus-like figure, in the 2006 production of Godspell.
Many of the cast members for the musicals were from the sports
program of La Salle. The musicals came to be such big productions because the students were so heavily involved. “There was
a lot of pride behind the productions,” Colleen Durkin
Lapowsky, today’s current director and La Salle theatre alum
says. “Every student went to see the show. It was a very
big date night.”
It wasn’t until the early 70’s that there were two shows – one in
the fall and one in the spring. In 1972, La Salle’s band played for
the musical for the very first time. Another tradition that started
soon after: the band president conducted the pit of student
musicians. To this day the tradition continues.

When Brother Gene became head of the College’s musical theatre program in the late 70’s, Mr. C was asked to take over as
producer of the shows. He brought in Peter Doyle to direct and
John Grace ’73, who performed in the shows in his student
days, as his assistant. Shortly thereafter, when Mr. Doyle passed
away, Mr. C brought Colleen Durkin Lapowsky (mother of Tim
Lapowsky ’08) onboard. Kim Williams (mother of Dan ’04 and
Brian McGinly ’08) took over as assistant choreographer from
1986 until 1989. Kim returned in 2000 for Guys and Dolls,
choreographing a few numbers and assisting Rita Schmidt, wife
of Bob Schmidt ’72, with costumes.
Colleen, Kim, and Rita, ironically, were all leading players as high
school students in past productions. Many alumni of the shows
at La Salle have gone on to perform in the professional theatre,
including Broadway. Both Lapowsky and Williams credit their
basic training on the La Salle stage to their individual professional careers in theatre. “The irony is that not only is it such a
wonderful experience to be able to perform (and direct) for the
La Salle shows. But previous students such as Ron Kurowski ’71,
Hugh Panaro ’82, Fran Prisco ’89, Frank DiLella ’02, and Maria
Brinkmann (daughter of Jack Brinkmann ’71, have taken the
torch and continued with what they have learned and used it in
their current career paths,” Lapowsky says.
Gayle Williams, Kim Williams, and Kate McCauley in the 1971
production of Hello Dolly.
Both Jerry Hathaway ’72 and Kate McCauley, parents of Anne
Hathaway (motion-picture actress and star of The Devil Wears
Prada, Brokeback Mountain, and The Princess Diaries), were also
involved in La Salle’s theatrical program with Kate as the lead in
both South Pacific and Hello Dolly! Kate also played in the
national touring company of Les Misérables; one of its stops was
Philadelphia’s very own Forrest Theatre. Kim Williams recalls her
favorite show, Hello Dolly!, during her freshman year. “Colleen
(Lapowsky), Rita (Schmid), and I met that year. Kate McCauley
was Dolly Levi; my sister, Gayle, was Irene Malloy; and I had the
third lead, Minnie Fay.”
It was Brother Gene who obtained the original set and costumes
for Hello Dolly! in 1971 through friend and Broadway producer,
David Merrick, when the show closed with Ethel Merman as the
leading role. “There was a full color spread in the Philadelphia
Bulletin. The La Salle cast ‘just about swiped the clothes off
Merman’s back!” Williams says.
“Theatre plays a very important role in the education of a student,” says Lapowsky. Having (the arts) in your life rounds out
the intellect and spirit. I wish we could reach more boys in the
school – allow them to do something that is not in their typical
‘comfort zone.’ When young men who are unfamiliar with theatre take a chance and try to participate, they love it. Others
don’t know what they are missing.”
The unforgettable productions, impressive stories, and the
memorable figures who helped to build La Salle’s Music Theatre
as we know it today have had a significant impact on the lives of
so many people who have gone through the program. Since
its inception, La Salle Music Theatre has proved what Saint John
Baptist de La Salle has always believed: that the true Lasallian
education of a student roots itself not only in academics but
in the arts.

Inside
By Steven M. Ziegler
Summer days for most Philadelphians usually consist of one of three things;
enjoying a water ice, sitting in traffic for the Jersey shore or taking in a Phillies
game. For Dennis Lehman ’69, the current Executive Vice-President of
Business for the Cleveland Indians, baseball has always been a part of his life.
Dennis Lehman ’69
“My dad was a former ticket seller when he was in medical school, so he took
me many times to Connie Mack to enjoy and experience Phillies Baseball,” Lehman
says. Although he did not play the game at La Salle College High School, a young
Dennis could usually be seen listening to the Phillies on a transistor radio. His love
for the game and the time he spent with his father gave Lehman the idea to get
a job as a Public Relations “helper” and press runner at Connie Mack Stadium
in March of 1970 in order to pay his way through La Salle College.
After being promoted to Director of Marketing, Dennis was able
to experience a very prosperous time in the franchise’s history.
“Moving to the Vet was great fun and very satisfying to see
from the inside. What many fans do not see is how difficult it is
on those many hard working people who labor…and try to
make long term value judgments…dealing with young professional athletes.” Dennis was fortunate enough to have the job
of promoting some of the biggest names ever to wear a Phillies
jersey between 1975 and 1983. Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton,
Tug McGraw—just to mention a few. Any baseball fan, especially
a baseball fan from Philadelphia only dreams about the day he
can be tied to those names. As Dennis puts it, “any time you are
part of the Post Season it is a human roller coaster ride.”
Counting his time with Phillies and his current position with the
Cleveland Indians, Dennis has experienced playoff baseball from
the front office nine times. He was around when the Phils
defeated the Kansas City Royals in the 1980 World Series and
was lucky enough to be at the helm when the Indians went to
the championship in 1995 and 1997.
Dennis Lehman has been working as the Vice-President of
Business for the Cleveland Indians for eighteen years. “The
biggest difference is that in Philadelphia, there are just more fans
period. That has to do with market size.” Dennis explains,
“Cleveland fans are much more focused on a championship, we
haven’t had one in baseball since 1948.” Moving from one city
with a rich history in baseball to another seemed extremely logical for a man like Dennis Lehman. Unlike many other executives
in the sports world, he not only sells the dream of hope to the
fans, he buys into it. As David Montgomery, Phillies CEO states;
“From the day I first met him, I knew Dennis brought an energy
and passion for the game of baseball. He has the best feel of
anyone I know for creating that positive connection between the
team and its fans.”
The passion and energy that Montgomery describes certainly
worked wonders for the Cleveland franchise. Dennis Lehman
helped resurrect baseball in that Ohio city where sports are
synonymous with a football Hall of Famer and that young
basketball phenomenon who wears the number 23. However,
having a La Salle College High School alum at the board meetings gives the Indians a brighter forecast of years to come. After
the construction of Jacobs Field in 1994, Lehman put his promotional skills to good use, drawing in 455 consecutive sell-outs
between 1995 and 2001. As a result, a once floundering
Cleveland baseball team sold for 323 million dollars in 2000,
almost double what the Anaheim Angels sold for just three
years ago.
Dennis Lehman’s achievements are nothing short of amazing but
the MLB executive never forgets that his roots stem from 8605
Cheltenham Avenue. “I learned many things about myself and I
learned that having passion for what you do in life can allow
you to be successful in both your career and life.” Dennis hopes
to one day get back to his old stomping grounds, see his friends
and maybe even bring out the transistor radio to enjoy some
inter-league play between the team that is attached to his heart
and the team that he has taken to new levels.
