Theatre Work

Before I became a fiber artist, I spent 30 years working in the theatre. These are photographs of some of the 200 productions I was involved in directing or acting.

"Oh, Coward!"
Earlville Opera House   1998

 

"Allow me to explain about the theatre business.  The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster"

" What do we do?"

" Nothing.  Strangely enough it all turns out well."

" How?"

" I don't know. It's a mystery."
