Three Penny Opera

That's Pammy and Randy sharing a Kodak moment backstage. I took a lousy picture. Jeez!

In 1998, Pammy and I were in Theatre Three's production of "Three Penny Opera" the classic German musical by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. The popular song "Mack the Knife" is from this show. It's one of the best times we've had overall in a theater production. Theater Three is a great equity house in Dallas and Artistic Director Jack Alder made it a very enjoyable experience. Thanks Jack.



Pammy and I had so much fun in this play. The director, Jack Alder, gave us some creative wiggle room with our characters. That's me looking very Brecht-ian. Y'know you get very pale working in theaters don't you.


Saturdays were two show days and between those shows the cast and crew would bring all kinds of food to graze on. One Saturday we had cocktail wieners in bar-b-cue sauce that simmered all afternoon. The theater smelled like the state fair.

Pammy backstage. We had nothing to floss with after lunch sooo... actors are great at improvising.
