Or you may have even caught his productions of Mac Rogers' "Trailers", "The Kiss of Blood" -- one of the original Grand Guignol horror plays by Jean Aragny and Francis Neilson for "The Blood Brothers Present...", a new experiment in theatrical horror -- or the pre-Fringe workshop reading of Silliman's and Lees', "Jonestown: The Musical". If you haven't caught any of these, it's no big whoop. He's in this show, too. He's the bald one. Thanks to Abe and Brian. (Special thanks to J.K., JRR, Naomi, Philip, Stephen, Ann, Clive, William, Neil and the various other authors who've kept me sane, happy, and full of wonder.)
