Production Notes
World premiere. Director’s original program notes describe all three plays being rewritten, restructured and rehearsed in just 18 days.

Preserve the original program notes and acknowledgments separately in research files. One production record for the trilogy, not three. Reported run April 17–May 3, 1987; closing date merits confirmation. Original archived program lists additional special thanks to Richard Buchanan, CPA; Chadwick Interiors; John Chadwick; Thompson Book Supply; Lowell Thompson; E.H. Public Relations; Edelgard E. Hatfield; EMSCO Electrical Suppliers; Air Control Service.
