We had a F
alcon's Cheerleader taking her shirt off:A very talented young actress and I wish her only the best with her career in the film world.
The local artist guild decorated the stage for us, and we actually sold there work too!
We even said the "F" word on stage, it was in the script & I fought to keep it.
What a pleasure to work on a show that was risky, intelligent and funny!
It was a real wonder they ever asked me back.
OK, the point of this post is WHAT TO DO NEXT:
Black Comedy, by Peter Shaffer
Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller
I'm Not Rapport, by Herb Garner
I would like nothing better than to direct all three, alas, there will be other people who want that honor...I could act in one or two, I am a much better director than I am an actor.
Just more things to ponder.

That is an awesome looking set.
I love live theatre. One of the best things to come out of my teaching job has been the times I got to be c-director on school productions. I loved it. My personal fave is still "The Outsiders" - which I think would give the Coppola film a run for its money.
