Joe, June, Nina and David. June and Joe used to date. Nina's Irish whose laugh can be heard two blocks away and Dave is a laugh-riot.
Shannon and Jim at home. Jim, his dad, Dean and I always slam back a few bourbon and Mountain Dews, get the guitars and sing three-part harmony tunes. We're good. Seriously - we are. Dean had pneumonia though and was out of commission. Next year, boys.
Janelle and Ichabod Crane. I mean, Joe. I had my first stage kiss with Janelle in the first show I did at Theatre Cedar Rapids in 1994. I wish I could go back to that...the show, I mean. Joe, Jim, Todd Peterson (lives in Phoenix) and I were pretty much inseparable. Trouble from the get-go. Whenever the four of us hung out, people whispered. T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!!
Bob and Alo. Bob was my first director when I began performing in theater in 1994. Both retired from Follies after this year's show - 29 years later. I almost didn't make the cut thanks to musical director Damon Cole (a close friend) but thanks to Bob's intervention - well, the rest is history. Alo was in charge of all the costumes.
