A WELCOME FROM OUR PRESIDENT Welcome back to MPAC! We are so happy to see you here again. I hope that you and your family are well and healthy. What makes our performing arts center so special is that it brings us together as a community to share the collective excitement of live theatre. We are thrilled to be able to be that community gathering place again. The COVID pandemic has truly tested the resolve of our theatre. Despite countless obstacles, we forged ahead and developed new and creative ways to serve our audiences, from drive-in concerts to virtual programming to online Performing Arts School classes to limited-capacity shows, and now, the return of full capacity events. MPAC has practiced stringent health guidelines since first reopening in October 2020 and we will continue to do everything within our ability to make our venue safe for our patrons, performers, volunteers and staff. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in following these guidelines as we reopen safely. Since 1937 this extraordinary theatre has celebrated good times and risen above dark periods, but only with the help of an incredible community. As a nonprofit theatre, we are profoundly grateful for the generosity of our patrons and supporters. Your contributions have been vital to our survival. I am confident that the brighter days are returning, and great new memories will be made in the upcoming season. Thank you so much for returning to MPAC. Let’s get on with the show!

A WELCOME FROM OUR BOARD CHAIRMAN Thank you for returning to MPAC. We know for many of you it’s been a while, and we’ve missed you. I’ve been pleased and impressed by how much MPAC has been able to deliver through the course of the pandemic, keeping the arts alive and engaging our patrons when their spirits have needed uplifting the most. I’m grateful to our dedicated members who have stood with us, giving because they believe our mission is more vital than ever. MPAC is thankful for the support of all of the individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies that have helped to sustain us through the pandemic. Whether it was a large gift or a few dollars added to a ticket purchase, every contributed dollar is appreciated. It means so much to us to know how much you value MPAC. While our situation has certainly improved since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, COVID remains unpredictable and we continue to face an uncertain future. It will take two to three years for MPAC to fully recover from the pandemic, and that’s provided there are no more downturns. We hope that you will support MPAC as we move ahead with our programs, bring in star-studded concerts, expand our educational offerings and develop diverse community-based arts programs. Pandemic or not, MPAC will be the leader in our arts community now and into the future. No doubt, this has been a very tough period in our history. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, and your support will help to make that light shine brighter. Please give from your heart, we need your support more than ever. Thank you. Please stay safe and I look forward to seeing you at MPAC. Sincerely, Gregory J. Supron Chairman, Board of Trustees

The Lords of 52nd Street: Legends of the Billy Joel Band Before they were The Lords of 52nd Street, you could find them playing at local clubs in Long Island under the band name, “Topper.” Topper was a 1960s high school rock and roll band originally formed by, Russell Javors on guitar and vocals, Doug Stegmeyer on bass, and Liberty DeVitto on drums. The band was drawing a large audience at the time, but bassist Doug Stegmeyer quickly flew out to California to audition for the “Piano Man,” Mr. Billy Joel. Joel was looking to form a new band that will record and tour with him regularly. Stegmeyer was immediately accepted into the Billy Joel Band, and Joel asked if Stegmeyer knew any other players, specifically a New York style drummer. Stegmeyer told Joel, “You know them,” and recommended his Topper bandmates, Russell Javors and Liberty DeVitto, for the part. DeVitto frequently played gigs with Joel’s high school band “The Hassles” at Plainview’s My House. To say the least, Joel and DeVitto were not foreign to each other’s playing. No one ever expected these musicians would cross paths again, and help form one of pop music’s most famous bands.
touring band performed the songs with such a fresh, and young driven beat. DeVitto, Javors and Cannata blew away audiences with their playing, and helped Joel sell millions of albums. The band went from playing local colleges and universities across the nation to performing at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. After the success of the Turnstiles album, Joel and the band began looking for a music producer for their next album. George Martin, the legendary Beatles record producer, offered Billy Joel a record deal, but he informed Joel he wanted to record with studio musicians. Joel would not create this new album without The Lords of 52nd Street, so he told Martin, “Love me. Love my band.” Joel turned down The Beatles’ record producer, George Martin, and was pleased to work with the legendary, Phil Ramone. Phil Ramone and Joel coined DeVitto, Cannata, Javors and Stegmeyer as The Lords of 52nd Street, and went into Columbia Studios to record, The Stranger. The album was a commercial success, it holds a RIAA diamond certification (10x platinum), and several #1 singles including, “Only The Good Die Young” and “Just The Way You Are.” The Lords of 52nd Street, along side the Piano Man, led an international tour, and performed at famous arenas including, Wembley Stadium, Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Nassau Coliseum, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, Budokan, the LA Forum and many others.
Doug Stegmeyer, Liberty DeVitto and Russell Javors joined Billy Joel in studio to record his 1976 album Turnstiles. Billy Joel was also looking specifically for a saxophone player who can play keyboards. Al Stegmeyer, Doug Stegmeyer’s father, was a sound engineer on the album, and recommended Richie Cannata to play saxophone and keyboards on the album. Cannata walked into Ultrasonic Studios in Hempstead, New York, and heard The band also performed on NBC’s Saturday for the first time the legendary hit, “Angry Night Live and on the BBC’s The Old Grey Young Man.” Whistle Test television program back in Joel, Stegmeyer, DeVitto and Javors recorded 1978.

After their 2014 hall of fame induction, The Lords of 52nd Street picked up their instruments yet again, and began performing in front of live audiences together. The Lords finally returned to the stage to a sold out crowd at The Space at Westbury in February 2016. Critics adored the band, and their performance blew away fans of all ages. The Lords of 52nd Street are touring regularly since their return in early 2016, and they do not plan on stopping anytime soon. Fans declared that The Lords’ live performances sound just like the original recordings with Billy Joel, if not better. The Lords of 52nd Street perform regularly for live audiences in public and private events, and continue to awe fans from around the world. They are New York’s favorite band, they sold more than 150 million records, they helped establish Billy Joel’s formidable sound, and they continue to perform their legendary hits still to this day.

Lilian Garcia. Broadway shows: Movin’ Out and Hairspray. Doug Stegmeyer Growing up in an especially talented musical family, it can be tough to find your own voice. Certainly when your father is one of the most prolific musical arrangers of his time, and your mother is a contemporary singer and piano player. This was the household that a young Doug Stegmeyer grew up in. It’s also one of the reasons why Doug was so successful and went on to play with many of the biggest acts of the last forty years. Douglas Alan Stegmeyer was born on a cold December day in 1951, in Flushing New York. The son of Bill and Margaret Stegmeyer, Doug was immediately surrounded by music. His mother, Margaret, “Peg,” was, and still is an accomplished piano player and singer. His dad, Bill, was a musical arranger for many of the biggest jazz acts of that time, in addition to being an accomplished clarinet, saxophone and piano player. Now having moved his family to Syosset, NY, Bill arranged music for Glenn Miller and Jackie Gleason, as well as performing with Billie Holiday and Billy Butterfield just to name a few. Doug, his brother Al and sister, Sue lived with a constant influx of new types of music. Then, one day Doug heard the Beatles…

David is a sought after entertainer and party/ event band leader. Doug began playing bass at the age of The formation of his Billy Joel tribute show, fourteen, and played gigs with his friends in “Songs In The Attic,” and his uncanny ability high school.

After the tour finished,
The Lords of 52nd Street: Legends of the Billy Joel Band Doug suggested to Billy that he give a listen to Liberty, who was getting a reputation as a great drummer out in NY. Billy came back to NY and gave Liberty and Russell an audition and “Topper“ became “The Billy Joel Band”. Doug and the guys would stay with Billy until 1988, playing on all his hit albums. Doug would be nicknamed “The Sergeant” by the band, because he was Billy’s first real Musical Director, and was put in charge of the band while they were in the studio. Doug also helped audition musicians and contributed to writing some of the songs. Doug and the guys recorded Turnstiles, The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain, An Innocent Man, and The Bridge. As Joel’s touring band, they also played on all of his live albums, and on the Greatest Hits recordings. In between touring and recording, Doug would perform in studio with Karen Carpenter, Phoebe Snow, Hall and Oates, Paul Simon and Debbie Gibson along with many others.
Ken Cino Ken Cino was born on February 20th, 1969, and grew up in Suffolk County, Long Island. Ken is the youngest of three boys, and his childhood home was always full of music. He would often hear his brothers spinning records by The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix. These musicians are what Ken considers some of his greatest musical influencers, but his first love was of course, The Beatles. The first time Ken heard Billy Joel was when his mother purchased him The Stranger album as a Christmas present. Ken remembers listening to this great album front to back in his childhood living room. He never imagined he would eventually be in a band with the members who recorded and performed these legendary songs.
One day, Ken’s mother dragged her reluctant son to a friend’s house to socialize with the other children.

He was happy to play with his idols, and is now blessed to share the stage with them over and over again. Still to this day, Ken considers The Stranger to be his favorite Billy Joel song, and enjoys soloing and performing this song live with the musicians who helped create it. Ken’s response when asked how he feels to be a part of this great band is simply, “I am very proud to be a Lord!” Liberty DeVitto Just pick up one of the 150 million copies of Billy Joel records sold in the last 30 years and you’ll hear why Liberty is called “THE songwriter’s drummer.” Spanning his career, Liberty has played with Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, Ronnie Spector, Karen Carpenter, Phoebe Snow, Elton John, Meatloaf, and many, many more. In 2013 he was inducted into The Classic Drummer’s Hall of Fame. He has been repeatedly featured in articles, documentaries and educational publications for over 40 years, and was most recently featured in the documentary A Matter of Trust – The Bridge to Russia. Born to Sicilian immigrants, his mother Josephine Sardisco was raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Her mother was a seamstress, and her father a tailor; carrying his sewing machine on his back twice daily, as he walked across the bridge to his factory job in Brooklyn. Liberty’s father, Vincent, was raised in East New York, Brooklyn, one of the eleven children born to his immigrant parents from Naples. Liberty’s father and his four brothers served their country in WWII. Vincent served in the 101st Airborne Division, and was part of the Invasion of Normandy. Although five brothers went into the war, only four returned. Liberty is named after his Uncle Liberatori who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country. The story of the five DeVitto brothers is featured in Tom Brokaw’s book, The Greatest Generation Speaks.
After WWII, Vincent returned to Brooklyn and met Josephine. Liberatori (Liberty) DeVitto was born in Brooklyn, New York, on August 8, 1950, a second generation Italian-American. Life for Liberty began in a one room furnished apartment. Liberty’s mother would empty a dresser drawer, line it with a baby blanket, and use that for his bed. His mother says it was the radio on top of the dresser, which she kept on all the time that gave Liberty his love for music. After Liberty’s father became a NYC Police Officer in the 77th Precinct in Brooklyn, he decided to join the migration out to the suburbs and moved his new family to Long Island in 1951. On February 9, 1964 Liberty’s family, like every other family in America, had the TV tuned to The Ed Sullivan Show. There they were, in black and white, “The Beatles!” At that moment Liberty’s life would change, forever. The camera panned the audience and showed girls screaming and crying. Liberty panned the room and saw his sister and her friends screaming and crying. All of a sudden it hit him, “What a great way to meet girls.” In June 1968, Liberty graduated from Seaford High School. By November he was on the road with Detroit rocker Mitch Ryder banging out Mitch’s hits, “Jenny Takes a Ride,” “Devil with a Blue Dress” and “Sock It To Me Baby.” Right after Mitch Ryder, Liberty landed a gig with Long Island alumni, Richie Supa, and had his first recording experience. The album, Supa’s Jamboree was recorded in Atlanta, 1969-70, and was produced by Buddy Buie of the Classics 4 and Atlanta Rhythm Section Fame. The album was released on Paramount Records and a tour immediately followed. Liberty was driving the band equipment van from Cleveland, Ohio, back home to Long Island when the van hit black ice and flipped off the side of the road, rolling four times. Liberty had sustained serious injuries, and was unable to play the drums for a year. To ease back in, he took a steady gig at a catering hall on Long Island. During those years, the group, “Topper” was formed. A club owner once called Topper, “the worst band to ever play his club.” Topper eventually became Billy Joel’s band and went to create such
The Lords of 52nd Street: Legends of the Billy Joel Band legendary songs as, “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” and “New York State of Mind.” Thirty years with Billy Joel, and countless other projects, Liberty is still going strong. He is proud to have been a part of the 9-11 recovery efforts, visiting Ground Zero and supporting the first responders with Billy Joel a few days after the tragedy and performing to raise money to rebuild his city. He has also played for supporters at “The Tunnel to Towers Run” commemorating Stephen Sills’ heroic effort to save fellow New Yorkers on 9-11-01.
Liberty currently resides in Brooklyn, New York, and travels frequently with his wife, Anna, to visit his mother’s family in Sicily. He continues to love what he was born to do, DRUM.

Until that fateful day in 1975, when Richie was in the studio doing some session work, and the engineer, Al Stegmeyer, recognizing his incredible sound and talent, suggested Richie call his brother Doug.

By bringing his unique musical talents looking for musicians to bring them to life. to help other musicians, it put Long Island Russell’s parents, Geraldine and Sol, were on the map as a “place to be” for recording tremendously supportive and their house for already established musicians. Artists became a haven for Russell’s musician such as Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Billy friends. He and Plainview guitarist, Howie Joel and Jenifer Lopez would pass through Emerson, would sit for hours-on-end ”Cove Sound’s” doors. Richie would earn working out guitar parts and arrangements many Grammys and an Oscar. He was also to Russell’s songs. a member of John Stamos’ band, “Jesse and Eventually Russell, Howie, Lib and Doug would The Rippers” on the TV show Full House, and all get together to play. Doug’s brother, Al continues to this day in his latest position as Stegmeyer, a musician and an accomplished Musical Director for New York Yankee Bernie engineer, was very generous to Doug and the Willams and his band. guys. Thanks to Al, the group was fortunate Richie has always been a true Long Islander to get recording experience laying down at heart, living and working there. He is tracks in a studio at de Servisky Center in
The Lords of 52nd Street: Legends of the Billy Joel Band Old Westbury where Al was working. These tracks were the beginning of the chemistry the guys developed as a recording band. This was the band that would eventually be known as “Topper.” In 1972, Howie Emerson played some of Russell’s songs to veteran Atlanta producer, Buddy Buie. Buddy flew Russell and Howie to Atlanta for an audition and immediately offered Russell a record deal with the provision that the Atlanta Rhythm Section be the back-up band. Even though Russell admired the work of the Atlanta Rhythm Section, he turned down the deal because he believed so strongly in the musicians he was already working with. But, getting another record deal didn’t turn out to be as easy as Russell thought it would be. In fact, he was even turned down by fellow inductee, Clive Davis, at Arista. The band continued to play in and out of the studio, but they struggled. In 1973, Russell and Doug shared a house in Dix Hills with Russell’s then girlfriend, Suzanne, where they could devote themselves to their music. In 1974, Russell and Suzanne were married and Doug was Russell’s best man. To Russell, this was more than a band – It was like a family. It was in 1974 that Doug did a tour with Billy Joel and soon became an important part of Billy’s future. In 1976 when Billy decided to record with New York musicians, he turned to Doug. Doug brought Liberty in first to lay down the basic tracks to Turnstiles. Later, Howie and Russell came aboard to add the guitars. At the same time, Doug also brought Richie Cannata into the fold. After the Turnstiles tour in 1977, Russell signed a publishing deal with 20th Century Music and his friend and advisor, Charlie Brucia, raised money for a recording project. Russell, Lib, Doug, Howie and even Billy recorded with Russell during the same period Billy was recording The Stranger album. One of the songs from these sessions “All Because of You” would later appear on Karen Carpenter’s solo album, along with another one of Russell’s songs. Through Billy, Russell went on to live his rock ‘n’ roll dream of playing rhythm guitar with the
band he loved, both on records and on the road. His staccato rhythm is the pulse of “Still Rock And Roll,” “Pressure,” and “Sometimes A Fantasy.” His classic lick on “You May Be Right” sets the table for one of Billy’s bestloved rockers. His sensitive acoustic guitar on “Goodnight Saigon” which takes the listener into the barracks as the Vietnam story unfolds, and his “in the pocket” rhythm on “Keeping the Faith” are just a small sample of what Russell has contributed to Billy’s music. Away from Billy, Russell has also worked with artists such as Karen Carpenter, Slash, Phoebe Snow, Iggy Pop, and others. After leaving Billy’s band, Russell pursued other interests. He wrote and developed shows for television, became involved in the toy industry and eventually settled in Hong Kong where he became a Vice President of a large Chinese manufacturing company. He later handled Entertainment Relations for Gibson Guitar Company throughout Asia. Hong Kong became Russell and Suzanne’s second home, where they spent many wonderful years making lots of great friends and fond memories. Russell even sat in with Billy during his first ever Hong Kong concert. In March of 2014, Russell and Suzanne celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Their son Jesse, a talented guitar player in his own right, is living in Knoxville, Tennessee with his wife Lauren. Russell and Suzanne are the proud grandparents of Jake and Luke Javors. Russell is currently working in television. He continues to write songs and work on his music, a passion that has always been his first priority – other than the New York Yankees, who run a close second!
