It wasn’t because the three people honored by those stars have fallen from grace, not at all. On Sun- day, a celebration will be held in front of SMP to unveil those now- refurbished stars along with two new additional stars. “We have long wanted to honor the late George Enyedi for his vision and stewardship of the Playhouse. It was because of Mr. Enyedi that we now own our building, we are so lucky that he set us on that course,” said Pro- ducing Artistic Director Christian Lebano. “Then when we recentlylost our dear friend and long-time Playhouse-family member, BarrySchwam, we thought it fitting that he have a star, as well.” Those two new stars join the origi- nal three placed to honor Founder and Artistic Director Stan Zalas, Founder and Artistic Director Charles Andrese, and Actress and Board member Verna Chilton. Each of the five stars are dedicated to individuals who made a pro- found impact on the early years of the Playhouse and without whom we would not have the Playhouse in our city. “Both of the stars were underwritten by friends of each of the men. We are so fortunate to have such support in the community,” said Board President David Gordon. I asked Lydia Bangtson, Barry Schwam’s widow, what it meant to her to see him memorialized with a star. “To me, it means that his work was re- spected and important, not only to the theater but also to the community,” she said. “It would have meant so much to him to have this star, and to have the love and respect of his colleagues and friends at the theater. He cared so much about the Playhouse.” Board Member Ward Calaway will speak about George Enyedi and Bar- bara Schofield will share stories about Barry Schwam. I asked Christian Lebano about this past year and what the future holds for SMP. “2020 was a devastating year, all around. So many families facing personal losses. Just devastating. The pandemic closures have been veryhard on all arts organizations – ours included. But we’ve been lucky. Trulyblessed with so many friends of the Playhouse who supported us when we needed them. We had 227 first-time donors send us money this year! Be- cause of that support we were able to get through and plan for our reopening.” A large poster in front of the theater an- nounces “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” I asked Christian about it. “Oh boy, are we excited to get back to produc- ing. We are thrilled that we were able to work with the City to mount the produc- tion in Memorial Park. The show pre- views on Friday, July 30 and will run through August. We’ll follow all the COVID protocols, of course, but it will be such a wonderful way to bring the City back together after these months of isolation. And the show is such fun – a great way for the entire family to celebrate being able to at- tend theater again. If it goes as well as I hope, we’d like to make this an annual event.” And when will we be able to see shows inside? “We plan to announce the rest of our season in early May. I can tell you that we hope to reopen with a show in mid-September and follow with a holiday production in De- cember. It’s all looking good right now, but we’ll have to see how things go with the lifting of restrictions. I can tell youknow that audiences are going to be excited to see some of the upgrades we’ve managed during this year. We’ll be ready for our friends - and to celebrate!” The live public ceremony unveiling the stars in front of the Playhouse will be held this Sunday, April 18, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. PDT. Following re- marks remembering our Playhouse heroes, cake and champagne will be served. Health and safety protocols (e.g., masks) will be observed. The event will also be livestreamed, for those preferring to attend the festivi- ties at home.
