There’s Trouble in River City, and it’s been going on for 50 years now. So the Woodside

Community Theatre decided to honor the golden anniversary of “The Music Man” by performing the old classic this fall. Tickets are currently on sale for shows at the Woodside High School Performing Arts Center on Nov. 10, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 18. Celebrating its own 50th sea-son, the local production com-pany hadn’t done the musical in almost 20 years, and members felt the time was right for a revival. “It’s a show that uses all ages,

kids as well as adults,” says Michael Taylor, returning for his second stint as stage director. Last year he directed the group in “Anything Goes.” He’s working with many of the same actors again, but also a host of new ones. Knowing that most audience members have seen the show or a movie version already, he said he hopes to “individualize the pro-duction, giving a fresh approach to the characters and lines.” Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” is about a conniving sales-man who arrives in a conserva-tive small town in Iowa, and falls in love with the librarian. Damian Marhefka of Redwood City plays Harold Hill of “Sev-

enty-six Trombones” fame, opposite leading lady Kerie Darner of San Jose. She plays Marian the librar-ian, a year after taking on the role of Hope in “Anything Goes.” Two other romantic pairings take place dur-ing the show. Woodside High student Brigitte Los-ey plays Zaneeta Shinn. Last June she starred as Maria in Woodside School’s eighth-grade operetta, “The Sound of Music.” Zaneeta is paired with Tommy Djilas, played by Alex Drinnan of

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGAND

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGCITY OF MENLO PARK

PLANNING COMMISSION

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2007

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Menlo Park, California, is scheduled to review the following items:

The following items require a Notice of Public Meeting or Public Hearing:

Use Permit/David Crouch/800 Magnolia Street: Request for a use permit to construct a new two-story, single-family residence on a substandard lot with regard to lot width in the R-1-S (Residential Single-Family Suburban) zoning district, and for excavation into a required side yard setback for a lightwell and egress associated with a basement.

Use Permit/Pham Bichhuyen Thi and Hoang Nguyen/308 Sheridan Dr: Request for a use permit to construct a second story addition to an existing single-story, single-family residence on a substandard lot in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban) zoning district. The proposed remodeling and expansion is considered to be equivalent to a new structure.

Use Permit/Bill H. Bocook, Architect/2800 Sand Hill Road: Request for a use permit for a new outdoor diesel emergency gen-erator for an existing office building in the C-1-C (Administrative, Professional and Research, Restrictive) zoning district.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment /City of Menlo Park: Consideration of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to clarify the definition of Gross Floor Area to more specifically identify features of a building that are either included or excluded from the calculation. Gross floor area is used in calculating the floor area ratio (FAR) and parking requirements for developments in all zoning districts except for single-family and R-2 (Low Density Apartment) zoning districts. Floor area ratio equals the gross floor area of a building divided by the lot area and effectively regulates the size of a building. In addition, gross floor area is used in determining the applicability of requirements for below market rate (BMR) housing and the prepara-tion of traffic studies. The clarifications to the definition will focus on new buildings and attempt to minimize impacts to existing build-ings. The Zoning Ordinance Amendment will be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the changes are intended to have no potential to impact the environment.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that said Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on this item in the Council Chambers of the City of Menlo Park, located at 701 Laurel Street, Menlo Park, on Monday, November 5, 2007, 7:00 p.m. or as near as possible thereafter, at which time and place interested persons may appear and be heard thereon. If you challenge this item in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Menlo Park at, or prior to, the public hearing.

Documents related to these items may be inspected by the public on weekdays between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, with alternate Fridays closed, at the Department of Community Development, 701 Laurel Street, Menlo Park. Please note that the items listed are only the agenda items that require a public hearing. Please call the Planning Division if there are any questions and/or for complete agenda information (650) 330-6702.

San Mateo. Evy Vaughan of Redwood City is Amaryllis, a young girl who flirts with Winthrop Paroo, an endearing part played by Tony Sinclair of Woodside. The entire Vaughan family is performing in the show, which is only fitting since the parents, Rich-ard, the music teacher at Hillview Middle School, and Liz Matchett fell for each other when they were in the cast of the late George Sell-man’s last Woodside production, “By the Beautiful Sea.” In the current show, Richard is a member of the quartet, and his wife and younger daughter, Aurora, play townspeople. Mr. Sellman started what evolved into the Woodside Com-munity Theatre when he wrote and directed a revue called “Frantic Feet” during the 1957-58 school year at Woodside Elemen-tary. From then on, a group of local adults and children put on performances until 1992. In 2003, Mark and Mindy

Bowles of Woodside brought back the tradition by forming WCT. The Bowles family has been involved in theater for years. Mindy serves as WCT co-producer with Donna Losey, a Woodside High parent whose children like to act. Mark doubles as technical director, and in this show, performs the role of Charlie Cowell. The cast of 54 “is talent-ed, and working hard,” says Mindy. “That’s part of our purpose: to bring fun and music to Woodside.” Richard Gor-don of Wood-side returns this season as the music direc-tor. He also conducted the orchestra in “The Music Man” when Mr. Sellman directed it back in 1988, and says he’s pleased that two people in his 26-piece orchestra back then are returning: Joel Greene on oboe and English horn, and

George Norbeck on trombone. Mr. Norbeck lives in Woodside and starred as Harold Hill in the old Woodside production. Mr. Gordon also conducts the Woodside Village Band, which he says was an outgrowth of the original show. The orchestra had such a good time with “The Music Man” that many members elected to keep playing together on a regular basis. This show features several large dance numbers, including the Shipoopi, as well as favorite songs such as “Till There was You” and “Lida Rose.” Local talent appearing in the cast include: Mary Freeman and Alison Ross of Portola Valley and Darlene Batchelder of Woodside as Pick-a-Little Ladies; Darrell Batchelder and Jessica Marguet of Woodside as Ewart Dunlop and Gracie Shinn; Meghan Styles of Woodside as a fea-tured dancer; Woodsiders Nola Masterson, Molly and Chan-dler Johnson, Holden Bamford, Nicole Dancer, LeeAnn Patrick, Stephanie Yakupitiyage, Devon Zaky, Ellie Gifford, Julia Han-sen, and Alanna McNaughton, plus Emily Ross of Atherton, as townspeople. Woodside High graduates Claudia McCarley and Gordon Seelos play the roles of Mrs. Paroo and Jacey Squires. Show times are: Nov. 10, 15, 16 and 17, 7:30 p.m.; and 2 p.m. Nov. 11 and 18. Tickets cost $20 for adults, $18 for seniors (62 and older), and $12 for students (18 and younger). Discounts are avail-able for groups of 20 or more. To order, call 562-3900 or go to www.woodsidetheatre.org. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. The theater is located on the Woodside High School campus

at 199 Churchill Ave., just off Woodside Road. A
