What a memory from my past!!!!!
I played Aesop in a slipshod production of the show that was done by one of the regional theaters on Long Island (it will remain nameless).
It was performed on the same set as one of the mainstage and I think they were doing THE MOUSETRAP at the time. Needless to say, the set didn't lend itself to THE FABULOUS FABLE FACTORY.
Our entire rehearsal period was about 6 hours and the show reflected it.
There was an actore's nightmare come true for me one day when I had a 10 AM performance of FABLE FACTORY, a matinee of FIDDLER (Lazar Wolf) at a dinner theater about 30 miles east, and then an evening performance of SOUTH PACIFIC (Cmdr Harbison) at an outdoor venue 60 miles west.
I was glad when that day was over!
