Shirley “Zen” Campbell
Meet the woman who started it all!
As we celebrate the Kindleberger Summer Festival
milestone 30th season, we warmly welcome home to
Parchment legendary Kindleberger play director and
Festival originator, ZEN CAMPBELL! Join us for the
Festival Parade on Saturday, July 9, 10am, where Zen
will be honored as the Festival Parade Grand Marshal!
The Festival’s remarkable 30-year story begins with
Zen. Please enjoy reading some of the history of the
Kindleberger Summer Festival written in Zen’s words.
For those who were involved in and experienced the early
years, may it evoke many fond memories. For those who
are learning how this wonderful community event began,
let’s be inspired to carry the effort forward for future
generations to enjoy!
“I moved to Parchment in January of 1982 and quickly
became entranced with Kindleberger Park. I saw from the
outset a beautiful and natural amphitheater, and began
imagining the possibilities for theater created in and with
this outdoor setting. With the support of the Parchment
United Methodist Church and an endorsement from the
City of Parchment, we staged Livin’ De Life with a small
ensemble initially named Parchment’s Greasepaint Alley.
Our budget was $600, and we gave two performances,
free of charge, on August 19 and 20, 1982. An estimated
800 people attended to support this first effort.
In 1983 our committee grew, and we became known as the
Kindleberger Summer Festival of the Performing Arts. We
changed the performance dates to early July, to coincide
with the Kalamazoo Symphony concert in the Park, and
offered three days of events, including dance, choral
singing, and musical performances. The play was Don
Quixote of La Mancha, adapted from Cervantes by Arthur
Farquez. I wrote and received our first grant, a mini-grant
from the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, and received
additional support from the City of Parchment, Parchment
UMC and the Upjohn Company to meet our $1200 budget.
Tom Maas designed the tree and hill logo for the newly
created Festival.
1984 saw continued growth in the number and type
of performance groups, from the Wellspring Dance
Collaborative to the Hallelujah Brass Quintet. Nine
performances were offered in addition to the play, Reynard
the Fox, and the Symphony’s concert on Monday night.
Sponsorships continued to increase, as well, to include
corporate and individual donors, the Parchment Schools,
churches and civic groups throughout the County.
1985 was a turning point for the Festival, as I finally
acquiesced to a widespread request for staging musicals.
I wrote and received an Outstate Equity Grant from the
Michigan Department of Commerce, received support from
the City of Kalamazoo in addition to our growing list
festival history
of Parchment patrons, and we were able to offer the very
popular Meredith Willson musical,
The Music Man — again, free of charge. Festival Day had
now expanded to include a 5K run, the Arts & Crafts Fair,
a Used Book Sale, a parade, more performances, and food
booths. A second performance of The Music Man was
staged on Sunday, with the Kalamazoo Symphony concert
on Monday evening.
Whether it was the live ponies pulling the wagon for
the staging of the “Wells Fargo Wagon,” or simply
the formation of a community celebrating and working
together, this was the year that that community truly took
ownership of the event. It was a full time, year round
effort: the first planning meeting for 1986 was held on July
17, 1985.
In 1986, the Festival grew to four days, with three
performances of the musical, The Wizard of Oz,
as well as the full day of activities and performances
on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, July 11-14. A fundraising dance and auction were added to supplement the
growing number of patrons and sponsors that allowed the
Festival to continue being offered
free of charge.
The 1987 production of Fiddler on the Roof saw the hillside
filled with a supportive and generous audience. We
escaped tornado threats and thunder storms, and enjoyed
a beautiful weekend — highlighted by a performance on
Sunday afternoon by the Chicago Shakespeare Company
of Twelfth Night. This performance was made possible
by a grant from the Plaza Arts Circle. The Festival was
also awarded its first significant grant from the Irving S.
Gilmore Foundation for this season, July 10-13.
We had an elephant in the production of Barnum, which
was staged in the round—under a “big top”—on the top
of Scout Hill. It was a summer of record-breaking heat, and
extraordinary experiences.
I turned over the chair of the Festival Organizing
Committee in 1988 to Tim Jenney, then superintendent of
Parchment Schools.
In 1989, I turned over the direction of the musical,
Camelot, during the rehearsal process. My husband
learned of his transfer to Ohio that summer, and David
Grapes, from the Kalamazoo Civic took over responsibilites
as director. Maud Kiwiet-Pantaleoni joined the Festival as
director of the children’s plays.
1989 was a huge year for the Festival, as we celebrated
the City of Parchment’s 50th Anniversary and James River/
KVP’s 80th anniversary during a nine-day
Festival week. Camelot was enormously popular.
And the Chicago Shakespeare Company returned for
a third season, performing The Taming of the Shrew
to conclude the Festival events.”
One Woman. One Idea. Many Hands. 30 YEARS!
Congratulations and Thank You to all who have
followed Zen’s lead, innumerable volunteers who have
shared countless hours of their time and boundless
passion for community and the arts; sponsors and
donors who have generously given funds to support this
annual cooperative event. Look how far we’ve come!
From the Barnum program, 1988:
Barnum, 1988.

This Festival began in 1982 with the goal of providing high
quality, family-oriented performances free of charge in
Kindleberger Park. Our belief in that goal is now shared
by corporations and individuals, schools and churches,
foundations and our city government. Without this growing
support, our efforts would be futile. We celebrate the
collaboration with Flowerfest for the appearance of
Monsieur Marcel Marceau, and welcome the return
of the Chicago Shakespeare Company. We say
thank you to those who have believed in us
throughout the years of growth, and
to those who have supported
the 1988 Kindleberger
Summer Festival.

Heidi is the story of a young
orphan sent to live with her
grumpy grandfather in the Swiss
Alps. Much more than a children’s
play, the narrative is also a lesson
on the precarious nature of
freedom, a luxury too often taken
for granted. Heidi learns how to
live happily in the romantic alpine
pasture and finds new friends
in high places. However, Heidi
almost loses her liberty as she is
ripped away from the tranquility
of the mountains to tend to Clara,
a sick child in the city. Heidi gets
into all kinds of mischief in the
city and eventually returns to
mountain life with Clara. Heidi’s
tale of strength and survival will
delight and inspire audiences of
all ages.

When lively Maria, a postulant at an Austrian convent, proves too highspirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the
seven children of the stern widowed naval officer Georg von Trapp. Maria
wins the children’s love immediately and inadvertantly falls for the Captain.
Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of
spirit, gradually captures the heart of the Captain, and they marry. Upon
returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded
by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy.
The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve
of World War II provides of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever
presented in theatre!

The Kindleberger Summer Festival Committee is excited to welcome ”SHOUT!” back to The Stage as the
Festival’s 30th YEAR Celebration closing event on Monday, July 11th! This will be one of the most highly
anticipated events of the summer arts season in Kindleberger Park!
Since its inception in February of 1996, the band has made a quick and decisive rise to fame. Many attribute the
band’s popularity to its polished vocals, attention to detail in both performance and persona, and the evident
chemistry between its members. Whatever the cause, “SHOUT”’s celebrity shows no sign of slowing down.
Sought out for its memorable performances, “SHOUT!” has appeared at several Detroit radio station events.
The group has even opened for well-known bands like Jefferson Starship, The Lovin’ Spoonful, and even Mitch
Ryder. “SHOUT”’s triumph at the Beatlefest Battle of the Beatle Bands in Chicago two years in a row provides
testament to the group’s stimulating reproduction of the famed British rock group.
“Shout!” Band Members: Greg Gersabeck (John Lennon), Jim Wilcox (George Harrison), John Manier
(Paul McCartney), and Kevin Kogut (Ringo Starr).
From head to toe, this fantastic tribute to the Fab Four is everything an audience might expect from a Beatles
tribute band. Everybody’s talking about “SHOUT!” and the group continues to gain more and more acclaim
with each performance. And you know that can’t be bad… THE BRONK BROS
