WELCOME Welcome to Desert Stages Theatre! Thank you for joining us at this performance of ALTAR BOYZ. The young actors playing Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham are veterans of many productions here at Desert Stages Theatre. We have watched them grow up. And now the ALTAR BOYZ and Director Lisa Figueroa have a Guardian Angel watching over them - DST Co-Founder Laurie Cullity. This production is dedicated to her. If you wish to meet with your friends or cast members after the show, please continue to do so in the food court area of the mall, so the lobby doesn't get overcrowded. We still want to avoid large group gatherings inside the DST lobby. Thank you for your patience as we continue to do our best to keep you, our actors, and our staff healthy and safe. Thank you for your support of live theatre and for your attendance at this performance. Whether you are seeing your 100th show or your first at DST, you are a valued member of the Desert Stages Theatre community, and we appreciate you more than you could ever know! Enjoy this heaven blessed production. Ellen Versen Walt Versen Executive Director Artistic Director
DIRECTOR'S LETTER Altar Boyz opened Off Broadway in March of 2005 and ran for nearly 10 years making it the 9th longest-running Off-Broadway musical of all times. The Book was written by Kevin Del Aguila (based on an idea by Marc J. Kessler and Ken Davenport), with music and music and lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker. It also won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best off Broadway musical. After working on two dramatic musicals in a row, I was so grateful to be given the opportunity to direct Altar Boyz. I can confidently say, we have laughed out lout at every single rehearsal. Taking on a 75 minute, literally non-stop, heavy dancing show was no easy feat. I am so grateful to Nick and Jay for pushing “the boyz” in the way they did. I will simply never forget the looks on “the boyz” faces the first time they saw Nick, our incredible choreographer, dance! Jeremy, Declan, Hayden, Evan, Jack, Connor, and Christopher, thank you. For the laughs, the hard work, the positive attitudes, and mostly just be- ing you. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you to the crew who threw together this quirky show in a ridicu- lously short amount of time. We literally could not have done it without you! Even with it’s many awards, Altar Boyz is, in my opinion, a highly under- rated show. I would bet that many of you in the audience have never even heard of it. Whether you’ve seen it before or not, I can promise you these “boyz” will have you laughing until you cry. “So, without further ado, we present to you our own little Nativity Play….” Lisa Figueroa Director
