TableTop Productions

After all these years, some of us finally got together in July, 2016. The reunion was held at Alleyway Theatre in Buffalo. It was nice to see old friends. Those who couldn't make it were discussed in gory detail!

Hey, TableToppers, it's been 4 decades since those good old days. Anybody up for a reunion? We could even invite those Melic and Mime people! Maybe we could plan it for next summer... share photos of grandchildren, discuss medical histories, etc. Let me know. Neal (Tom Owen has already volunteered to help.)

In 1975 TableTop Productions presented THE APPLE TREE which performed at various Western New York locations as a touring show. It was produced and directed by Neal Radice, choreography by Lynne Kurdziel Formato, accompanist was Diane Agate, with costumes by Joyce Radice.

Our old friends of Melic And Mime had a reunion on August 24, and, of course, most in attendance were also TableToppers. Tom Owen, being the fine gentleman that he is, hosted the party at his home in Sloan, NY. Here are all the pics I could gather from those with cameras.

At one time, the TableTop staff was producing a new show every 2-4 weeks at dinner theaters in Buffalo, Amherst and Niagara Falls. How did we manage to smile so much?

During the 1974-75 and 1975-76 TableTop Players seasons Lynne Kurdziel Formato conducted weekly dance classes in tap and jazz. All members participated... even the Executive Producer. Each of those seasons of dance classes wrapped up with recitals that happened in unusual locations. These are pics from both recitals.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN was presented by TableTop Productions at the Parkway Ramada Inn, Niagara Falls, NY in 1977 and directed by Neal Radice with choreography by Lynne Kurdziel Formato and musical direction by Kenneth Young.
