I remember playing Michael Cassio but not Tommy Turner. Mystery of pain and loss of memory, I guess

 At the Richmond, CA Community Theater in early 1957 the evidence shows that I played the lead in THE MALE ANIMAL. I think what happened was that I bought a season's ticket and they let me sit down in the back row to watch a rehearsal of a play and then they said, "You. You will do." About THE MALE ANIMAL I remember only that between acts the pneumo-peritoneum was sloshing so much that I lay down on the stage set sofa. Not one memory of the words of the play or a performance. I was taking classes at West Contra Costa Junior College--going to college. That I remember.


Only the perpetual calendar gives me 1957.
