In 75 days, I'll be back on campus at my alma-mater at an extra special homecoming as Lebanon Valley College continues celebrating its 150th birthday. In honor of that countdown, here's memory #75: the opening one-act play (of a total of four) for the student production of the evening called 'Through a Shattered Looking Glass' in October 1991.
Which means it's time to talk about (the late) Richard Wilson, LVC's guest choreographer in that era, who came to me the semester before and said he'd like to contribute in a different way and direct something -- specifically William Saroyan's 'Hello Out There'. Of course I said yes (Richard had a long career in the arts, and it was an honor to have him be a part of our production), and so the seed was planted for the idea that the evening eventually came to be.
Steph A and Rob G played the lead roles -- Emily and Photo-Finish, with support from David W and Bill T. And this post should probably come with a spoiler warning, as that last photo doesn't exactly convey any happy ending, which helped set the tone for what was to follow.
