FROM THE PRESIDENT Jim Crislip

T hank you for attending this performance of the Walla Walla Choral Society. We hope that you

enjoy the music and that you will continue to join us in the future.

At these performances, you see before you a com-munity of musicians who give of their time, their talents and their financial resources to share the gift of excellent choral music in our area. Behind these singers, instrumentalists and directors is a legacy passed through the centuries, from teacher to stu-dent, from conductors and directors to all the mem-bers of their performing groups.

Every step along the musical journeys represented on this stage is supported by the willingness of pa-trons to support the arts, and by teachers and direc-tors imparting their wisdom.

We treasure your support, through your presence at our performances and through your giving, so that

our part of this grand musical legacy may continue in the Walla Walla Valley.

Four Directors, Four ConcertsLongtime director Dr. Christine Janis retired at

the end of the 2012-2013 season after more than a decade as Artistic Director of the Choral Society. The Board of Directors chose to offer three candi-dates for Artistic Director the opportunity to each direct a concert for the 2013-2014 season. Thus, the Choral Society is enjoying the talents each candidate brings, and a decision will be made following the third concert as to who will be awarded the position. The season’s fourth concert is being directed by John Neumann, a retired choral director living in College Place.

����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

This superb example of British farce had them rolling in the aisles in London and New York. A taxi driver gets away with having two wives in different areas of London because of his irregular working schedule. Complication is piled on complication as the cabby tries to keep his double life from exploding.

�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

“When a woman says she wants a new car, what she really wants is a new life.”

Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and a middling marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life, and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn’t dare.

������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

The place is a communal residence in a New England city, where four mentally handicapped men live under the supervision of an earnest but increasingly “burned out” young social worker. “Little things” sometimes become very funny. We are reminded that the handicapped, like the rest of us, want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose in the brief time that they, like their more fortunate brothers, are allotted on this earth.

��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

“Nunsense” is the story of five nuns who must put on a variety show to raise money to bury several of their sisters who were accidentally poisoned by the cooking of Sister Julia, Child of God. Mother Superior is a feisty Sophie Tucker-type who can’t resist the spotlight. Sister Mary Hubert, Mistress of the Novices, is the second in command, always competing with the Mother Superior. Sister Robert Anne, a streetwise tough character from Brooklyn, is a constant source of aggravation for the Mother Superior. Sister Mary Amnesia is a sweet nun who lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head. Sister Mary Leo, the novice of the group, wants to become the first nun ballerina.

In a cave, somewhere in the Western Cape region of South Africa, is a well-documented San (Bushman) painting of a Dutch (or, perhaps, Eng-

lish) ship, resplendent with flags and sails, rounding the Cape. The painting dates back to the early 1700s and serves as a poignant reminder of the incredible powers of observation of these now virtually exctinct people. Sadly, the very people the San saw as gods, certainly in terms of stature and relative opulence, were to become their executioners (with the help of other black tribes).The eland (a large antelope) represented more than just food and took on an almost supernatural sig-nificance, while the rain was seen, supernaturally, to be either male or female (either rain-cow or bull) depending on its intensity.

– Peter Louis Van Dijk
