Subject: RE: how did you choose your mudcat name?
Another theater type checking in: I spent a year at Julian Beck's and Judith Malina's The Living Theatre in New York before the government closed them down. I was in The Connection (stage manager and a small acting role). We also did a production based on the I Ching, an Ezra Pound translation of "Trojan Women" and Brecht's "In The Jungle of Cities". I got to be a John Cage musician, too. I did summer stock with The Barnstormers in Tamworth, NH. I think it's the oldest continuously operating summer theater in US. I also ran a dinner theater in New Haven directing the small productions. I also directed two plays at Yale although I was not a student there at the time. Although my career then went in another direction, I kept up an interest in community theater.
