Something Wicked

This is a mailer the Western Stage sent out in the mail inviting people to their 1991 season.  I thought this was the year of East of Eden, but it is not listed so I guess I was wrong.  It was the season of "Something Wicked This Way Comes," an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel.  I think the theater actually wrote the adaptation and Ray Bradbury came to see it and was very complementary about the production and Joshua's role in the play.  If you look sideways at this post, you see two young men.  The one above the other is Joshua.  After Bradbury came to see the play, there was a party at our house to which Bradbury came.  We heard he drank Heinekens so we had a case of Heinekens in our garage refrigerator all ready.  However, the men staying at our house, Jon & David(?) polished it off well before he came.  So, Ray was left to drink Jeanne's scotch which I kept filled all night.  I then was responsible for getting him back to the Laurel Inn where he was staying.  All-in-all a pretty terrific night.
