THE NIGHT THOREAU SPENT IN JAIL _ WCT _ Stage Left

At Stage Left was a unit depicting the Front Porch of the female lead character of Ellen played here by Ann-Marie Rogers. This character was used by the playwrights as a sort of go-between for Thoreau and his ill-fated brother John.

 I took my design quite literally from a WPA mapping project of Early American homes from this period which I found in the Wichita Public Library.

The bench on which Stan Graham is seated was also literally "begged" off someone's front porch by MARY JANE TEALL. She just went up and talked the owners into letting us use it for two weeks, probably in exchange for free tickets!
