Fil Baca, Fred Conley, and Jim Ortuba played the convicts, and they were all great!
The story takes place in the early 20th century in French Guianna, in a prison town. The convicts all run free, and do handiman chores for the shopkeepers and the townspeople. Needless to say they mettle where they should not and trouble ensues. It all works out great, and everyone leaves happy.

I like the sound of that play. Strangely enough I've been scanning postcards of the convicts leaving for Guianna just this week. They left from our island, Ré Island. Do you remember Papillon, the film with Steve Mcqueen from the 70's?
There is still a prison on the island
There was also a movie done with the same story...Bet the play was wonderful!!hughugs
Anji, Yes I do. And DOnna, Th3e play was derived from the movie with Humphrey Bogart and Aldo Ray and Peter Ustinov
Thank's for the great pictures ML!
Good pictures. I am guessing that the last two were with flash as the color balance is more normal without the yellow cast that is usually present with stage lighting. Or did you work on them some with Photoshop or some other program?
Dick, they are all flash, and I used Photoshop to get them more natural looking. I coulda missed one though...
Actually the top one was really really dark, too far for the flash to hit it, so I had to increase the exposure on it.
I haven't seen that one. Looks good
ML, is the magic piece of equipment you are using called Cricut?
Also, any further interest in preserving the theatre's history?

Yes it is the Cricut...I have a Board Meeting Tomorrow, maybe then I will know something else, Karen.
