Topic of the Day:
I can't remember my first play-going experience. It was probably when we lived in Germany when my dad was in the army (we lived there when I was between the ages of 4 and 7) and he was involved with some local community theater. He did several plays that I think I went to see, but I have no memory of them.
We moved to Washington when I was 10 years old and the earliest professional show that I can specifically remember seeing was a national tour of
The Pirates of Penzance, based on the Broadway production with Rex Smith at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. Peter Noone (of Herman's Hermits fame) starred as Frederick and James Belushi was the Pirate King. At the time, he was still only known as John Belushi's younger brother.
