It seems our stage productions under Lee Yopp (here Oklahoma; for Inherit the Wind and Caruosel, see earlier post) were so popular with audiences, we took them on the road and offered additional performances. Also, Eleanor Goldy kept the playbills from the two shows Mr. Yopp took us to, all in one day in New York City--The Crucible and West Side Story. We needed to see "Broadway" theater just to get us revved for his Hamilton High productions. She remembers our trip was on May 21, 1958; she has her ticket stub to prove it. And then earlier, in 1957, there was Green Pastures. We were "da bomb" in today's parlance, totally awesome! (John Dezseran as a 14 year-old sophomore played God. )
