ANNIE MAY SWIFT HALL AUDITORIUM

Larry Smith in the center, doing the teaching grad assistant work for AK.  Schneideman lurking in the back.  Maria Moriates on the aisle.  Bill Pogue onstage at left.

I'm leaning on the back of a seat just past the people on the right.

. . . . . . . 

Suzanne Lehmann, I think, in front of Maria M., and isn't that Bud Beyer being directed by Larry Smith?

CAESAR & CLEOPATRA

These huddled masses and staunch soldiers turned out to be famous people -- some of them anyway.

Paula Ragusa (Prentiss) extends an invitation to Rob Thirkield.  Who could resist?  Not Caesar!!

Richard Benjamin

Richard Benjamin  NU  Shakespeare -- Richard?

Don't remember the other actor's name.

From Faye Prince (nee Johnson)   This is a photo of Dick Benjamin as Hotspur. Sarajane [Levy] was stage manager for “Henry IV, Part I”  I was her assistant and both of us were run ragged on that show.   Wasn’t Gary Vitale “Daddy Henry” and Paul Hardy “Son Hal Henry”?  Weldon Bleiler was Falstaff.  T

The show was characterized by high good humor.  At one point Paula [Ragusa] got furious with Dick [Benjamin] who played Hotspur.  she stormed up to him downstairs and stomped the fire out of his foot.  With great pain, Dick choked out,  “Oh, Paula, thou hast robbed me of my youth. . .”  And some wag nearly derailed Benjamin’s brain by muttering to him backstage,  “A crone, a crone, a rhop-ear, is it not?” before the entrance when Hotspur had to cry about his horse, “A roan, a roan, a crop-ear, is it not?’

CHRISTMAS PANTOMIME

An unremarkable pantomime.  I recognize myself as grannie with a fichu and Bill Striglos who was supposed to be a little boy.  NU Workshop Theatre.

TROJAN WOMEN

Workshop Theatre production of "Trojan Women" about 1960.

Directed by Marshall W. Mason.

I'm at the far left but the only other name I can remember is Marge McCarron seated front left.  Marshall sent me a note:  Ellen Tucker is playing Cassandra, holding up her torch in the middle.

SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER

Lisa Cosman, Mary Strachan, Claris Nelson in background.

Production at Northwestern Workshop Theatre about 1960?

Directed by Stuart Hagmann

I can't remember the names of the rest of the cast.  I'll look for the program.

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE: photo

Dave Zegers (Stanley) and Robin Deck (Stella) here.

Production directed by Stu Hagmann.  Blanche was played by Janet Lee Parker from Portland, where we went to high school together.

1957 CREW FOR "House of Bernarda Alba."

Full drew of House of Bernarda Alba.  This was the first crew I ever worked on at NU.  I can only name four people:  myself, obscured on the edge of the door frame, Rollie Meinholtz, now a retired professor in Missoula, MT.  He married the lady with the pitcher on her head -- later married someone else.  And Dave (now Tony) Roberts at the right hand end of the front row.  Linda Radley above him.

Please help name the others!
