Miscellany

When I was a kid I liked the last page of Life Magazine because they put on it interesting photos they couldn't fit elsewhere. Here, in homage to Life, we'd like to offer:

Yes, well ... Ummm...

February 21st, 2004: Jonathan Sinclair plays the part of Baptiste the Gardener in Murder at Bottomsrood Manor at the Silverthorne Town Pavilion.

We'd never seen the role played quite that way before.

Nor since.

Dressing Room: we usually ask for a small space in which to change into costume and stash our bags during a show. Sometimes the space is pretty small indeed.

Right: we're dressing in the basement of the St. Bernard restaurant in Breckenridge, 12/13/03.

Some of us old-time Red Herrings remember having to use a restroom with an overflowing toilet, circa 1989, so we tell these young whippersnappers how rough we had it in the old days, and that any dressing room with a dry floor is a good dressing room. Still...

Yeehaaa! When we talk about being "portable improv entertainment" we mean we can go (almost) anywhere to do a show, from mountain tops to tour buses to raft trips. Here's a raft trip, circa 1995. We're on the Colorado River heading down toward State Bridge, CO (22 miles northwest of Vail, as the crow flies). Actor Don Moon is second from left, with actress Tricia Dudding behind him in the blue cap. There were several rafts that day. Every mile or so we'd pull all the rafts over to a bank, jump out onto shore (usually into thistles), do a scene, then get back aboard with actors trading rafts. We finished up at a picnic site in State Bridge. (Photo from Don Moon collection.)

This is my favorite photo of Erin. Heck, it's everybody's favorite photo of Erin.
