Our current stage producer, Gayle Nason-Churchill, has considerable experience. She has directed and produced our stage shows since 2000, and continues to be one of the guiding forces in the group's success.

Our music team includes our accomplished musical director, Jonathan Wilder, who conducts an orchestra of some 16 players for many of our spring productions, and our vocal director, Paul Waara, who prepares choral numbers for shows and directs our annual concerts.

Our production team also includes experienced choreographers Lisa Reilly and Stacey Micoli, who have created memorable dance numbers in our past productions.

Our group has shown remarkable growth in its twelve seasons and it is our belief that we have defined a unique "niche" as musical performers in the Buffalo area. We are the only local group doing "Light Opera" or "Operetta" and are interested in expanding our interests to cover and perform the more vocally demanding "older Broadway" shows.

Although we have a faithful core of members, the composition of our group has continued to change over the years and we hold open auditions for our major shows. Several of our members are lead soloists at local churches; our younger members include several graduates and current students of the music programs at Fredonia and UB. We have a healthy mix of mature performers and youngsters and have helped develop the careers of several of our younger performers.
