President, Board of Directors
Friends,
We Hope to See You Often!
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Closer Than Ever. Musicals are so uplifting and it’s great to share this
incredible Show with you. It’s hard to believe we’re running our third performance of
our 2021-22 Season. Our last play, Native Gardens, will run April 12 - 24, 2022. When
our Season of Plays concludes, there will be a lot to look forward to at CVRep.
We have been busy planning an incredible Summer Season filled with concerts,
presentations and performances. We are partnering with David Green (MTU) to
present AMTC’s National Youth Summer Stock - a college level intensive three-week
workshop in which each week a new play will be performed. Joe Giarrusso, along
with Rob Moon, is building out our Classical Music series. Jimmy Cuomo is putting
together some amazing cabaret artists and other performances. We’ll be offering
a live version of Theatre Thursdays. From May through August, there will be a new
offering on the Stage of CVRep. We hope to see you often!
Thank you for your support and enjoy tonight’s presentation.
– Mike Monachino

RON CELONA
Founding Artistic Director
THANK YOU for all you did to help
make this day possible. We would
not be here without you.
It’s a pleasure to present a musical
once again at CVRep. This is the
first Musical Revue that CVRep
has produced as part of our main
stage productions. Although I have
produced many musical revues
as fundraisers, they were original
conceptions. This is an example of
a musical revue that was written
and licensed to be produced for
theaters all over the country.
Closer Than Ever got its start at
the Williamstown Theatre Festival
in Massachusetts during the
summer of 1989. It turned out to
be a smash hit that went on to an
Off-Broadway production
and continues to be produced
in theaters like ours. This being
my final directorial production at
CVRep, along with the financial
and Covid related needs to
produce a small cast production,
a musical revue is a perfect fit for
our season.
I want to give a special THANK
YOU to my longtime collaborator,
friend and musical director, Scott
Storr. We have worked together on
musicals for over 20 years.
It’s my hope you will enjoy Scott’s
mastery on the piano along with
the other musicians, and our
amazingly talented cast.
Enjoy,
- Ron Celona Founding Artistic Director
Welcome back to the playhouse!

Ron moved to the Palm Springs area in 1999 and was the
founder and Producing Artistic Director for the Joslyn Players
at the Joslyn Center Theatre (now named The Arthur Newman
Theatre) from 1999 through 2007. During his tenure he created
an award winning Theater Company and venue, supported and
respected by the community.
After a year of planning, Ron’s dream of creating a professional
regional theatre was realized. In August of 2008, Coachella
Valley Repertory, led by founding board member Gary D. Hall
– then President, now Chairman Emeritus – was started. After
several years of continuous sold-out shows in our 86-seat
storefront theatre, it was necessary to expand. Ron and the
CVRep Board’s new dream was to purchase our own, larger
theatre. Now entering our third decade, the 2021-2022 Season
is presented at the new CVRep Playhouse in Cathedral City.
