Thanks for posting. I`d have loved to see it. A theater play with a young DeForest Kelley and a girlfriend.
Thank you for reading! I bet Mr. Kelley was just outstanding in that first leading role.
Well, he certainly was.
He would have been WONDERFUL in the role of George! Young, hopeful, full of restless energy and that ability he had to channel a character rather than just play a character.
And, not surprisingly, two of his performances were used for charitable purposes. Even then, he was using his talent to give back.

They always do charity performances at the L.B. playhouse (midweek). Aparently the Playhouse has been doing it since the early days. An organization will rent the house out and the actors perform on those nights. It's understood that you'll do them, when you're cast in the part. But it's still a great thing! Sometimes the charity performances get very moving-they often do a silent auction during the intermission.
