1975 - Alexander Fraser

1975

Chevy Chase Players was putting on FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TOTHE FORUM. The late, lamented Cliff Smith was the director; SandyBremer was producing; I played Erroneous. Opening night, about 7PM, wegot a call that our leading lady, our Virgin, was lin the Hyattsvillejail for shop-lifting. Sandy and I jumped in my car and broke severallaws getting to the lock-up. Sure enough, there sat our leading lady,hand-cuffed to a bench. Bail was set at $200; bond was $20. I was incostume and had zip. Sandy looked the desk sergeant in the eye; dumpedher purse on his counter; and said "Here's $l9.80; it's all I have; andI WANT MY VIRGIN." The cop laughed and let her go.Curtain was late but the show went on.
