Does anyone know who played who in The Women in Elaine Stritch's story in At Liberty? It doesn't appear to be on the CD version of the show and I'm watching the PBS filmed performance and would like to reference :) Gloria Swanson, Marge Champion, Elaine Stritch... I don't remember who else was in it.

This was a 1966 Kenley Players Ohio summer stock tour of THE WOMEN. The cast was: Gloria Swanson, Elaine Stritch, Marge Champion, Dagmar, Claire Luce (actress, not the playwright), Marilyn Maxwell, Sherry O'Neil, Paige Palmer, Imelda de Martin, Betty Bruce, Mary Cooper and Ann Mitchell. Ego's were running rampant at this show that Artistic Director/Producer John Kenley put the words "Stars are Alpabetically Listed" at the bottom of almost every page in the souvenir program, something he didn't normally do.

Sadly, there is no record of who played who.

Times like these it's always funny to me that we existed without the internet/documenting absolutely everything. Thanks for the additional info though!!!

I stage managed a horrendous community theater production of the play--poorly cast, terribly directed and sluggishly paced. I shudder at the very mention of its title.
