The last show I acted in was "The Robin Hood Caper', by Fred Carmichael, directed by Jim Vincill. I wasn't going to do it, but my best friend asked me to, so I did. I'm glad I did. It's the story of four old ex-cons who have reformed and now use their formidable "talents" to help others through their group, Charities Anonymous. They meet two or three times a year to report on and plan and support these activities.
At this meeting, they discover that Flora's nephew is going to lose his newspaper to an unscrupulous, corrupt mayor. A plan is layed, hatched, mislaid, cross-hatched, and scrambled. But the show did not lay an egg. It was funny, fun, and fundamentally a good show. Audiences laughed. We had fun. The theater ghosts were happy to have the company. And as long as the ghosts are happy, life is good.
