Then a fat check arrived from one admirer, and the company eagerly plunged into commercialism to raise the rest. Singers Jeanne Beauvais, Norman Myrvik, Francis Barnard and Musical Director Lucille Burnham gave all the concerts they could. Stage Manager Beth Leibowitz made and sold ceramics, while Company Manager Richard Flusser hopefully entered a TV quiz show...
