Presented by The Little Theatre of Northern Wells June 6-15, 1975, I'm pretty sure this is the first show in which Denny Bechtelneimer directed me...though we were both in the cast of Lend an Ear at Arena Theater a year earlier. It was also my introduction (again, "I'm pretty sure") to Jari Cook, 20 years my senior, but the holder of a special place in my heart and the woman who introduced me to the music of Bette Midler.
I was cast as one of "The seven proteans, men with incredible versatility and dignity." Whenever the script called for sailors or soldiers or singers or slobs, we took care of the need. It was a fun group of guys, but, as can be seen below, our costumes were...um...interesting.
