As I said, our school's drama director (a wonderful character actress named Juliet Rohde--her son Joe has been a lead Imagineer for Disney for years) knew Sidney Michaels. He gave us a chorus number called "Minute Minuet" which had been cut. So I got to dance (badly-I am such a klutz) in 18th century dress, with a replica of the Boston Tea Party on my elaborate wig. All us French ladies were showing our support for M. Franklin and his dashing American rebels.

So despite the terrors of dancing with a toy ship on my head, that was my fave, along with "A Balloon is Ascending," because I was onstage the longest in them. :)

And you guys all thought I was merely a nerdy historian from Los Angeles!

Pawed through old box of high school antiquities, but can't find the right theatre stuff. Scary pictures of mid-seventies hair and dress, though. I did find a program for a short play we did called JULIET IN MANUTA, a kind of alternate history in which R&J survive,,and turn into a suburban couple with issues. Wow.

Laura, time traveling
