Oh my heavens….you’re so right Roy!! I performed with Floyd Vivino (‘Uncle Floyd’) at the theme park Gaslight Village in Lake George in summer ‘73. We entertained at the Opera House there. I went back to work there in ‘76, but Floyd wasn’t there. He was becoming known in NJ as one of their favorite sons. I would bring in his ‘kiddie’ TV show on VHF when I had my studio in Brooklyn. We did a revival performance up there somewhere around 2008. All the old comedy & vaudeville bits and the singing. All out of the past, and now it’s all in the past. We had a long phone conversation the day after Robin Williams died. He had been a friend of Floyd’s.
My father in law played Big Daddy at the Mark Taper Forum in LA. about ‘82. We flew out to see the show, and backstage & dressing rms I got into a brief conversation with the actress playing Maggie, a very young Kirstie Alley.
Fisher Stevens and I got our Equity cards together in a show at the 18th st theater. About 1980.
Yeah, we raised the money ourselves, found an author, jumped through the hoops, and found a dive to perform in. There were actually some great moments!
Remember doing the Saroyan play ‘Hello Out There?’ You had to go outside and walk around the back of the building to get from stage right to left. Hard to believe we did all that.

You could get Equity cards from the 18th Street Theater? I thought just ringworm.
