Bill Stutler and Bob Funking, owners of the highly successful WESTCHESTER BROADWAY THEATRE, in Elmsford, New York, have commissioned author GARY CHATTMAN to write an anecdotal history of the theatre. This fun, theatrical, narrative will date back to July of 1974, when AN EVENING DINNER THEATRE opened.

The book will chronicle the 198 mainstage shows and many specials that have graced the stages of AN EVENING DINNER THEATRE and WESTCHESTER BROADWAY THEATRE. And it will contain interviews and anecdotes from people who helped shape this theatre into one of the most successful dinner theatres in the country.

Gary Chattman, author of six published books, is a former teacher/administrator for the New York City Public Schools He is a concert pianist and teacher, a tutor of various subjects and of Judaic studies. He publishes the WESTCHESTER ARTS AND EDUCATION REVIEW, which reviews musical theatre, hotels and restaurants in the tri-state area.

His sixth book, MY CHILD LEFT BEHIND, published in August, 2016, is a critique of the common core and standardized testing.

Mr. Chattman welcomes public comment on WESTCHESTER BROADWAY THEATRE to add to the book and make the book a celebration! Contact him at garychatty@aol.com.
