Allen M. Dion (Producer, Composer)
Allen is a native of New York, where he earned his B.A. and M.A. at Queens College, where he wrote two musicals and won first-place trophies for both. He went on to write fundraising musicals for Cancer Care and Muscular Dystrophy. "His full-length original musical Homeseekers explored the struggles of abandoned and abused children. It was presented Off-Broadway at the Nat Horne Theater on Theater Row and at the Urban Arts Theater.
Allen was mentored by the extraordinary producer/director Harold Prince, a legend who won more Tony Awards than any other individual. Mr. Prince included Allen among his "faithful first-nighters" and invited Allen to all his first-night Broadway openings. There, he met his musical theater idol, Stephen Sondheim.
His next musical, Father, Father, centered on Father George Clements of Chicago and his successful efforts to become the first Roman Catholic priest to adopt a child.
In the 1980s, Allen became aware of a nun who influenced Eugenio Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII. Allen subsequently traveled to Switzerland to meet with a nun who served with Pascalina. His extensive interview with her provided invaluable information.
The current script and songs of Lapopessa the Musical are the realization of a long-held dream for Allen. He would like to thank his extraordinarily talented composer-writer husband of 33 years, Paul Dion, for helping bring his vision of Lapopessa to life.
