Saturday night was the staged reading of Fallen From Proust at Shawnee Little Theatre. It went REALLY well!! There was not a lot of publicity because the folks at the theatre were afraid that the surprise for my parents would have been spoiled. So considering that there were just a few articles in the Shawnee News-Star and it was a Saturday night during a three day weekend (Oklahomans go to the lake on three day weekends) we were very pleased with the turn out.

Everyone enjoyed the play. There were lots of laughs and I was very pleased. Proust is pretty edgy for Southern Baptist Oklahoma!

It was a lot of fun to get a group of my best friends together and play. I had not performed in five and a half years so I was pretty nervous but had a blast.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible! A very special thanks to Norman Allen for letting me share his play with my family and friends at home.
