The summer of 1988 was the
beginning of a theatrical endeavor in the community of Haddon Heights, NJ.
Scott Glading, High School English & Drama teacher followed the requests of
his students who loved the theater, and wanted to have the opportunity to
surround themselves in that environment after the school doors closed. With
the assistance of the Heights Board of Education, Haddon Summer Music
Theatre was founded. Those who lived or worked in the community found
themselves onstage performing in one of Rodgers and Hammersteins's best
loved musicals...
The Sound of Music.
How fitting that we begin our 3rd decade by celebrating another of the
famous duo's musical masterpieces...Carousel |

The Story of Carousel
In a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century,
the swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, captivates
and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a decent life for his family, he is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his own life and is sent "up there." Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day and, time being what it is "up there," fifteen years have passed and he now encounters the teenage daughter he never knew. She is a lonely, friendless child, her father's reputation as a thief and bully having haunted her throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love. It's easy to understand why, of all the shows they created, CAROUSEL was Rodgers & Hammerstein's personal favorite..

The Perry Awards are named in honor
of William Perry Morgan, a gifted Director, Actor, Composer and Musician who
was a driving force in New Jersey Community Theater. Perry, and several of
his close colleagues came to the realization that there was a need to
recognize the many great accomplishments of their fellow thespians who gave
so freely of their talents to enrich the lives of theater patrons in New
Jersey. It was out of this that the awards were born. As Perry stated, "The
acknowledgment of excellence in Community Theater by any "Award" serves only
to re-enforce that which is already known; That some of the finest
theatrical productions ever produced are done so year after year in
community theaters throughout New Jersey" |
