Passing Through II - 1978
In April 1978, I had a lead role in a musical comedy called "Passing Through II."
It was the third in a series of productions written by Lawrence Lebin, an English professor at Lock Haven State College, in Lock Haven PA.
​
Here are 42 pictures from the show, rehearsals, cast parties, script, publicity & program. (Plus one old 16mm movie.)
