"Simply Simon is an orig-
inal adaptation that has been
performed once before at the
Pittsburgh Jewish Commu-
nity Center. It has portions of
the actual scripts and certain
songs from Little Me. Promis-
es, Promises, They're Playing
Our Song and Sweet Charity.
"The separate parts are
tied together by a character,
Simply Simon, who repre-
sents playwright Neil Simon."
Dr.
Miller's
cousin and her
friend came up
with the idea for
the musical in
Pennsylvania, de-
veloping it into a
complete produc-
tion by writing
the part of the
narrator.
"We have a
small stage so we
couldn't cast all the people
who auditioned, but we in-
vited them all to participate
because it is just as important
to be part of the backstage
crew as it is to be in front,"
Dr. Miller said.
The first-time producer is
taking the parts of Benny
Buchshbaum in Little Me and
Vernon Gersch in They're
Playing Our Song. He re-
vealed that some of the men's
roles had to be filled by peo-
ple from outside the temple
because the men seemed shy
about auditioning.
The late Charles H. Tobias,
a past president of the tem-
ple, helped organize the the-
ater group and the program
is dedicated to his memory.
"I think this group is bring-
ing together a lot of people
who were looking for a new
interest," said assistant pro-
ducer Marlene Cassidy, who
is coordinating the sale of ads
for the playbill. "We've found
a wonderful way to meet and
just have fun.
"A lot of people did not
know each other prior to au-
ditions, and we're all friends
now. We go out afterwards,
and we all socialize. We ac-
tually look forward to coming
to rehearsals."
Simply Simon is the third
musical planned by Temple
Israel in recent years, but the
other two were single events
arranged for special occasions
such as the 50th
anniversary of
the temple.
"This is an all-
adult show which
is geared for fam-
ily audiences, but
I'm hoping we
can form a Tem-
ple Players
Youth Theater
Division and put
on two produc-
tions a year, one with adults
and another with younger
people," Dr. Miller said.
The auditorium can seat
330 for each performance,
and the group hopes enough
seats can be sold so that the
Players will break even with
their costs.
Director Kimberly Britt,
who has a degree in theater
arts and has worked with a
number of community the-
ater programs, looks forward
to opening night.
"It's going to be a very pro-
fessional production, and it's
been nice to see the level of
support that this group has
from the temple," she said.
"It's also nice to work in a fa-
cility like this."
