Random Flashback for Friday 10/18/2013

Happy 20th anniversary to the cast and crew and "creator" of LVC's fall 1993 Wig and Buckle production of "The Night of January 16th"!  (Where does the time go?)

[Okay, technically, I'm a fortnight late on these wishes, as our show was Oct 1-2-3 of that year twenty years ago.]

As masterfully directed by Rachel M, twenty-one cast members (some of whom are pictured in this audience view of the final bow during one of the three nights of performances) graced the Little Theatre of the Mund College Center (this was before the renovation and the name change) in an experience eerily preminiscient as to the modern day fascination with courtroom proceedings (I'd love to see it again through the eyes of a Nancy Grace, for instance).

Twelve members of the audience voted each night (does anyone recall the record for District Attorney Flint [my character] and that of Defense Attorney Stevens [the indefatigable performer Kimbery H]?) to basically answer Karen Andre's claim [as delivered by the multi-talented Karen H] that "One of us is lying and we both know which one."  (Of course I'm biased, but if you met Larry Regan [as portrayed by the one and only Rich G] in any capacity, well then you already knew the answer.)

[As a bonus (only on FB), I'm creating a quick photo album of a few pics from the show and the cast party and the day after the cast party ...]

Who's up for performing the show again somewhere live for the 25th anniversary in 2018?
