FOR LOVE AND MUSIC PRESENTS | JUNE IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
DIRECTOR’S NOTE:
You are about to see the story of June, a person who
is plagued by the intrusive thoughts in her head. These
thoughts work tirelessly to convince creative, brilliant,
beloved June that she has no value.
I I was drawn to this show—aside from my undying love
for Amelia Kirshon, aside from the show’s innovative
and beautiful music, and aside from an urgent desire to
create theatre again after a pandemic—because I have
been June. But I’m not the only one. Over the course
of rehearsals, it became clear that my collaborators have also been June. Ah, a starting
place. A shared mirror to hold up to ourselves. When have you, too, been June?
From the distance of our seats, we witness June with compassion. “These voices are
irrational, they are cruel, they are untrue!” we want to tell her. Hold up the mirror: I am
June, too. Can my compassion be radical enough to extend it to myself, through June?
If we can love June through her mistakes, can we choose to love ourselves through ours,
allowing ourselves the space to learn and be better as we move forward? When have you
been Act Two June, a person who finds a way through the noise of self-doubt to believe
in their value and live their authentic life with courage? June does it by acknowledging
the way that the thoughts are trying to keep her safe, and ultimately moving past them.
How have you done it?
A note on imagination and collaboration: in “Bathroom Nine and Three Quarters,”
Winter shows us the beautiful world that they imagine could exist. The moment is
fleeting, not because Winter isn’t imagining with their full convictive heart, but because
they are imagining alone, outside the power of community. It is collaboration that is the
key to imagination in action, our gifts to the world. This show did not stay in Amelia’s
“Notes” app on her phone. May you have the hopefulness to imagine a better world,
and may you have the bravery to share and collaborate with other imagining hands.
I am so happy that you are here to make history by being June in a Parallel Universe’s
first audience.
Ashley Goverman

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
June in a Parallel Universe started off as an idea for a novel that I wrote on the notes
app of my phone, and that is what it remained until my freshman year creative writing
class. It became a short story about a girl who wanted to go on a date with her
dream boy in the perfect red dress, and all the things she wished she said. During
this time, I was randomly taking violin lessons, and I told my violin teacher about
the short story, and he said “That sounds like a good plot for a musical,” and I said:
“Yeah, actually, that’s a really good idea,” and thus is the origin story of June in a
Parallel Universe.
I wrote this musical with the intent of it existing completely in the mind of June.
At the beginning of the story, we see her with her journal open, scribbling down
her thoughts. Once she looks up at the audience, from then on, she is telling us a
story, or her version of the story, and letting us into her mind. I wanted the story
to exist through her eyes because I wanted you to see these characters and this
world through June’s lens of insecurity. When you love someone who is hurting
in a different way than you, it is sometimes difficult to sympathize with their hurt,
because a lot of that pain is not always on the surface. It is easy to get caught up in
the frustration of not being able to fix it: to make them feel whole, but the beauty of
the human experience is learning that your job on this earth is not to fix people, it’s
to be there for them, with the banana, with the poetry, with anything you can muster
without compromising yourself in the process. This is how we heal together.
I hope you fall in love with these characters like I did, and maybe see a
bit of yourself in them.

Aidan McElman (Asst. Director): Aidan is a Norton High School 2021
graduate. He loves to collect vinyl and
other assorted nerdy things. Aidan is an
aspiring filmmaker, which is why he is so
excited to make his Assistant Directorial
debut alongside the amazing Ashley
Goverman. Aidan likes to eat Swedish
fish. He would also like to thank “Momma
K” for her organization and dedication
towards this production, Ashley
Goverman for her amazing guidance
and for being a terrific creative lead, the
amazing cast and crew for their initiative
and spirit, and Amelia Kirshon for
allowing me to be a part of this amazing
journey.
Amber Richard (Math Teacher, Ensemble): Amber has always had a
love for theater and for performing any
production possible on stage with her
closest friends. Whether it’s playing the
right-hand man to a prince in “The Little
Mermaid Jr.,” almost playing a very
accusatory mother in “Freaky Friday,”
standing still and reading ominous
monologues on stage in “What I Want
To Say But Never Will,” and somehow
playing someone’s wife in nearly every
show they’ve been in together, theater
never fails to create lifelong memories.
In the fall, Amber will be attending the
University of California Irvine, where she
has absolutely no idea what she will be
majoring in, but is very excited to minor
in music. Although Amber is so sad
to be leaving her friends soon, she is
unbelievably grateful to Amelia, Ashley,
Aidan, Momma K, and everyone involved
in this broadway-bound production for
giving her and her friends a final hurrah
on stage together.
Amelia Kirshon (June): Amelia is a rising
freshman at the University of the Arts in
Philly, where she will be surrounded by
many like-minded nerds and never do
math again. She actually cannot believe
that this is happening, and is so thankful
for the time, creativity, and heart that
her friends put into making this dream a
reality. In a parallel universe, outside of
her love of musical theatre, Amelia loves
to compose music, write poems, play
instruments, and perfect her sandwich
artistry (go to Norton Subway and she will
make you that footlong steak and cheese
you are dreaming of). She would like to
thank Ashley Goverman for teaching her
how to be a powerful-but-kind leader,
and for being her dream-director, as
well as Aidan McElman, for being a
genius and always one step ahead. She
would also like to thank Momma K, for
always having the answers (and if not
reminding us to put a pin in it), Jason Kull
for his tech wizardry, Mel Fine for their
kind heart and lyrical brilliance, Maddie
London for gorgeous choreography,
and the cast, and everyone who has ever
written a line of melody or dialogue or
even listened to her babble on about this
musical for the past 4 years. You are all a
part of this, and she wants you to know
that.
Ann-Marie Alves Kirshon (producer): Ann-Marie is a cantankerous feminist
and mother of two, who writes poems,
loves to cook, and helps run the family
flooring business. She started producing
shows when she fell in love with the space
performers make for each other, how it
is imbued with kindness, acceptance,
and goofiness, and for all those little
magical moments on stage from show

to show where something unexpected
and beautiful happens. She is so grateful
for the community that rose up to make
JiaPU possible, for her beautiful mom
& sister who have supported her all her
life, for having daughters who are bona
fide amazing humans that fill her home
with love and music, and for her husband
Larry, who invented For Love & Music.
From the moment he walked her onto
Rob’s dairy farm in Lanesboro, MA, he
showed her that together they could do
big, joyful things.
Anthony D’Amore (Earl, Ensemble): Anthony is entering his freshman year at
Norton High School. This is his thirteenth
musical theater production. It has been
one of the most fun and enjoyable shows
he has been a part of. He is in awe of
the super-talented cast and crew. The
creative team is amazing. He would like
to thank all cast and crew for making
this an awesome experience. In addition
to acting/singing, Anthony enjoys
basketball, soccer, and Cross Fit.
Ashley Goverman (Director): Ashley
is a director, actor, and educator who
graduated from Emerson College in
2016 with a degree in Theatre Education:
Acting. Her recent directing credits have
bounced from New York City public
schools, to southeastern Massachusetts
(Uncommon Theatre’s 2018 Little
Shop of Horrors), to McMurdo Station,
Antarctica—a place she’ll return this
October. Thanks beyond thanks to all the
A’s (WE DID IT!), to incredible Jason &
the brilliant, generous cast, to Marcia, to
Mom & Dad, to Isa.
Caroline Blakeley (Pianist and Ensemble): Caroline Blakeley is an
incoming sophomore at Berklee College
of Music, where she is studying Music
Therapy. This is the first musical she’s
ever been in, and she is very excited and
grateful to be a part of something so
incredible, with such wonderful people.
When she’s not tickling the ivories in
our parallel universe, she is working as a
classroom assistant at the JCS Extended
School Year Program, and (ethically)
speeding to chipotle after rehearsal in
hopes of snagging some tacos before
they close. She would like to thank Layla
(the Kirshon family dog) for always being
there, even at the most inconvenient
of times.
Carrie Sullivan (Mom): Carrie is a
sophomore at the University of Rhode
Island, where she is studying Music
Therapy. She has been a performer
since age 6, most recently as Vivienne in
Legally Blonde and Sister Mary Patrick in
Sister Act. She sends love and gratitude
to her family, particularly her very own
Supermom, for always supporting her.
Daniel Curran (Adam): Danny Curran
Is an actor, writer, musician, and student
at Dean College. His specialties include
corny jokes, writing amazing bios, etc.
He can’t wait to be performing in a
musical for the first time since 2019.
Especially with such a caring, hilarious,
tight knit cast of crazy talented folks! He
gives special thanks to his parents for
being patient with him, and to Ashley
for putting up with his energy, and for
making theatrical magic with this little
group of weirdos. Much love.

WHO’S WHO
PAGE | 12FOR LOVE AND MUSIC PRESENTS
Esmé Brennan (Parallel Universe June): Esmé is a rising freshman at Salve Regina
University and cannot wait to delve into
the world of chemistry and other scientific
nerd stuff. Esmé has been in a few other
productions, her favorite being the show lost
to Covid-19 (RIP Freaky Friday and Ellie Blake
you will be missed). You can find Esmé most
days being the world’s best barista down
in Foxboro Forbes Crossing Starbucks, and
when she’s not there, she’s at home taking
a nap. She cannot thank her family and
friends enough for supporting her through
this production and cannot wait for you all to
finally see this masterpiece of a show. Enjoy!
Jason Kull (Tech): Jason is an upcoming
freshman at the University of New Haven,
where he will be surrounded by many like-
minded individuals as he continues to study
video editing and production. He is excited to
see the results of everyone’s hard work on this
show and is so thankful for the time, creativity,
and passion of those who volunteered to be
a part of this unique experience. He would
like to wish them all the best of luck in their
future theatrical endeavors and would not
miss an opportunity to work beside any of
them again.
Jeffrey Kohlman (Uncle Mur, Ensemble): Besides taking drama class junior year of
high school, Jeff has been doing drama for
an outstanding 3 weeks this summer. In the
original show of June in a Parallel Universe he
will be playing the part of Uncle Mur. Assistant
director Aidan Mcelman has famously said,
“(Marlon) Brando couldn’t have taken it to
this level,” (in reference to Jeff elevating the
role of Uncle Mur).
Enjoy the show!
Laila Meier (Margo): Laila has been doing
musical theatre for 6 years. Her favorite roles
include Flounder from the Little Mermaid
Jr., Lilly St. Regis from Annie Jr., Reno
Sweeney from Anything Goes, and Rona Lisa
Peretti from 25th Annual Putnam County
Spellingbee. Laila will be attending The
American Musical and Dramatic Academy
in the fall for Performing Arts. She would
like to recognize the directors, Amelia, and
the amazing cast and crew for their work in
making this show possible. Also mentioning
her parents for always supporting her love
for theatre and coming to see all her shows.
Madison London (Aunt Jessie, Ensemble, Choreographer): Madison is an incoming
freshman at Pace University. She will be
studying Peace and Justice on a Pre Law
track. Madison has always had a passion for
the preforming arts since she stepped on
a stage in the first grade. June in a Parallel
Universe actually marks her 65th show!
She has had such a pleasure working on
this show and is so excited for everyone
to experience the joy she feels at every
rehearsal!
Mikah Connolly (Mr. Miller, Ensemble): Mikah is a sophomore musical theatre major
at Dean College and is so excited to be
involved in June in a Parallel Universe! Past

Minetsa Cotto Ortiz (Science Teacher, Ensemble): Minetsa is a rising freshman
at The Maxwell School of Citizenship and
Public Affairs at Syracuse University where
she will pursue a degree in Political Science
and International Relations. Minetsa has
been a part of the theatre community since

in a Parallel Universe, and for the love and
support they’ve gotten from their family and
friends for making this work of art a reality.

fourth grade at Henri A. Yelle elementary
in Norton. This is his first musical theater
production. Noah would like to thank his
cousin Ashley for inviting him to participate
in this musical, and pushing him outside of
his comfort zone. Noah enjoys soccer,
basketball, yoga and swim.
WHO’S WHO
Rosie Conklin (Winter): Rosie is a rising
freshman at Roanoke college in Virginia,
and is so excited to be playing Winter in
this production! Their first interaction with
the role made them immediately fall in
love with the character. As they helped to
further develop and explore the comfort
Winter brought to them, they realized
Winter could help other gender non-
conforming individuals realize they aren’t
alone, and can find themselves in Winter’s
story. The role of Winter has shaped their
life and given them a way to learn and grow
on their journey of recently coming out as
non-binary. They hope everyone is able to
take what they need from their story and
can find their own rainbow painted stalls.
They would like to thank everyone who has
helped them on their journey, and Amelia
Kirshon for writing their dream role.
Sofia “Pickle” Kirshon (Bassist): Pickle
Kirshon is a rising sophomore at Norton
High School, where she enjoys hitting
things in percussion and being unable
to read sheet music in jazz band with Mr.
Dejoy, the only acceptable Pisces man.
Pickle enjoys being a sandwich artist with
her sister Mop, crystals/witchy things,
and any form of caffeine she can get her
hands on. She would like to thank Amelia
for letting her “F” up the bass lines she
wrote, Momma K for birthing her, Rosie
for constantly letting her do their hair, and
everyone else in the cast for being swag.
