LUCY & DESI Show That's A Wrap!

I have to admit that although I really enjoyed designing and building the set and effects for this show...and despite the fact that the cast was Superb...the play itself wasn't up to my usual standards.  I will always wish that I had not commited to such an early start date... had more time to work on the script... and more time to work with the actors to make it a better show.

As it turned out, however we really lucked out with this one because all the local papers were begging for Valentine's Day material...and what better than  LUCY & DESI  for the holiday?

We got an obscene amount of press beforehand, so although the reviews were only passable, the audience was assured for the entire run and those that saw it loved it...

...Especially the moment in Act Two when the Late, Great  RIC SWAIN met his demise at the hands ( tails?)  of the SHREWS  as they sucked him down the Kitchen Sink! His pudgy little legs quivering all the way down produced the longest sustained laughter from an audience in Hip Pocket History!

( The Secret was a white rubber sink surround with a ramp built in that RIC could just slide right down with a bit of help off-stage. It was Hysterical and all everyone talked about afterward.)

God Bless You Ric. We All Miss You.
