Dear Coastal Rep. Family and Friends:

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you Evan Saunders age 38 passed away on Friday morning January 20th after an 8 year battle with brain cancer. Actor, dancer, lighting designer, technician extraordinaire, rock climber, surfer, diver, gamer, husband, father and friend, Evan spent his final days as he spent so much of his life and times, up in the rafters of our theatre working his magic. He leaves behind the loves of his life, his beautiful and talented wife Lisa Claybaugh and his 4 year old son Aiden.  Services for Evan Saunders will be held at 2PM Saturday January 28th at Miller-Dutra Chapel in downtown Half Moon Bay.  A memorial scholarship, a fund to help Aiden with his education and a memorial service that at his request will be “way better than the talent show” will be announced in the days ahead. The remainder of our 26th season will be dedicated to his memory.

Love each other,

Michael Lederman

The Marvelous Wonderettes
By Roger Bean
Directed by Michael Lederman
February 10 – March 3, 2012.
 

Bring the entire family to this irresistible musical comedy! Writer Roger Bean transports the audience to the Springfield high 1958 Prom where we meet the Wonderettes — Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy — four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts and voices to match. As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to the girls performing beautifully arranged renditions of classic ‘50s songs including Mr. Sandman, Lollipop, All I Have To Do Is Dream, Sincerely and Sugartime. 

After intermission, the audience is in for a wonderful surprise as you’re whisked away to the girls’ ten-year reunion. The Wonderettes perform again with high-octane and soulful renditions of classic ‘60s tunes such as Heatwave, Son of a Preacher Man, Rescue Me and Resepect., and we see how their friendships have changed and endured in this captivating new Off-Broadway hit.
