I have a few recollections about the production and performance of this play. We started with a potential cast including several 'under-studies'. In the short time we had, I didn't know who would come to all three days worth of practice, and who wouldn't. In the end, we used all of the under-studies, and one or two additional people that showed up later. The rehearsal schedule was difficult for those that played.

Unfortunately, I did not take down the modern names of the players. Hopefully we can update this list and this history from the knowledge of others.

I'd like to especially note Cat Kenney for knowing what she was doing well enough to come in and be Pantalone after only one hour of practice time.

I also want to thank Morgan Copeland, Merideth, and Jeri Mattson-Hughes for sticking around through all practice timed and helping get this show together, inspite of getting no stage time.

In the end we got quite a few favorable comments.

We have a video tape of this production, and also of the initial class that included most of the casting effort.
