Remember that?

I've been accused of being a packrat, and I don't think I've ever had grounds to deny it. But every once in a while, I'm glad I am. I scanned most (no, surprisingly, not all) of the old programs I had in a folder downstairs. Wow, did these bring back memories. It also helped all those "What was her name?" -type questions get resolved. I imagine I'll use these as a springboard to go find more people on Classmates. I hope you enjoy pawing through these as much as I did.....

1986 - 87

1986 - Good: Feb 27, 28 and March 1, 6, 7, 8 (I didn't get to attend the production, but came across a program somehow)

1986 - Flowers For Algernon: April 24, 25, 26, May 1, 2, 3 - again, this was before my days at Johnson Hall -- if you have programs, send me pictures!

1986 - Summer Cafe Theatre: June & July. The Foreigner, The Iron Butterfly and Educating Rita were the 3 repertoire shows.

This was in production about the time I was in rehearsals for my senior show in high school, but I must've glommed onto the program somewhere.
Cast list of "Good"

The first productions I attended at CSU were the summer reheats

I still find myself using quotes from "The Foreigner"

I recall Rich's smoky solo -- or am I imagining that?

I don't recall much about this one (must've been swimming with my first college homework)

I'm a little sad that the programs in "my" years there didn't have room (budget?) for some of the interesting photos like this. Ron Stoffregen -- what's he up to these days?

The first show in which I was personally involved. I'll never forget those 3-sided behemoths....

Cast list of "A Chorus Line"

Chad Leeper and Dan Hollingshead making the next cut of the hopefuls
Joe Hall and Kirt Shineman, in a dramatic moment.

I only wish this weren't so fuzzy.
And I really wish this weren't fuzzy -- it seemed to me to be a fantastic finale -- was I starry-eyed, or was it really good?

I so clearly remember being cast in this -- I'd hit the big-time!

As one of the props masters on this, I will forever have memories of frozen pickles.
Cast list of "The Miracle Worker"

The graduating seniors, who I had way too little time with: Miranda Odom, Wende Curtis, Charlotte Leslie, Kim Schuster, Lesli Pusjkin, Mark Liermann
I found a random photo from some cast or house party, with Scott Hunter, me, and David Chase

My first experience with the Summer Cafe Theatre

The cast list for "Brighton Beach Memoirs"

The cast list for "Spokesong"

I snagged a few pictures from the cast board of that summer -- I don't think Kurt Muenstermann looks a day older today, dammit.

And not that I look any older, but I was SO very young then!! (not to mention sunburnt -- SPF, Pam, SPF...)
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat -- that was a fun production

Mother Courage -- this was about the time I started to fade away from the department :(
