Barnstable Comedy Club members who get the familiar feeling during next Tuesday night's Monthly Workshop production that 'this is where they came In', will be quite right.
But with a difference!
For on that night - Jan. 19 - fwo separate performances of Edivard Albee's short play "The Sandbox" will be given by two Separate casts, currently being Sec ...
retly rehearsed by two separate directors,
David Laning and
Bruce Martin.
Those who have sat in a theatre and wondered how a particular play might have looked with a different set of characters, can now see for themselves.
And the unique double exposure is being rehearsed with the utmost care to avoid any possible clash ln which any influence from the one might drift over to the other.
David Laning, one of the two directors (recently seen as Scrooge in LarryLippard's warmhearted musical version of Dickens' Christmas Carol) has chosen for his cast
Elizabeth Edwards,
David Jones,
Paul Pina,
Bettina Dinsmore and
Louis Jacobucci.
And
Bruce Martin, the other director (you may have seen him as the youthful Troilus in "Tiger at the Gates" ) has assembled as his cast
Barbara Cotton,
Nancy Sears,
John Gunther,
Ted Arms and
Ralph Weston.
Comparisons, of course, are going to be inevitable - but that, after all, is one of the unusual privileges associated with the whole idea.
The time Is 8 pm next Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the Village Hall in Barnstable.
And while the show is primarily for club members, guest tickets may be bought at the door for a dollar each.
