PHILEAS FOGG WINS THE BET!!
Andrew Harrington, as Phileas Fogg, adventurer, arrived where
he started precisely on schedule, to the delight of our audiences,
thanks to his servant Passepartout (Terry Tamm) and Aouda (Mary Helan
Turner) and despite the best efforts of Detective Fix (Kate Bromley) to
arrest him before he completed his trip Around the World in 80 Days.
The cast of characters he met along
the way, played mostly by Chuck Holleman and very often by Alex Jordan,
could fill an adventure novel all by themselves!
Great set by Allen Bantly, costumes
created by The Divas (and designed by Aleks Schoen), props by the A-Team
(Anne Bantly, Linda McConchie and Charlotte Kelley), lights by Susan
Tucker, sound by Mark Elliott, make-up by Charlie Atherton and stage
direction by Teddy Crecelius. It truly was an adventure for
audiences and crew alike!
