| Comments: |
One
of my favorite memories on putting this play on, upstairs
at the Old
Red Lion Theater was the lifesize cut-out we
made of the actor, which was meant to look like one of those
standees you might see in a bookstore window. |

"HEART
OF SATURDAY NIGHT" |
Synopsis: |
Named
after the Tom
Waits ballad, this play was an off-beat look
at prostitution, and soho hookers. It tells the story of three
working-girls as they try to escape from 'the life...' |

Comments: |
My first
year at the Old Red Lion, thanks to Phil
Setren and Katie
Tomashevski. It was a hoot to work with David
Banks from Dr. Who, and it was hilarious to build a heart
shaped bed with John Gilliam.
