Here I am with original artwork by my "GREATER TUNA"  co-star, Jonathan Beck Reed!
 
 
 
Here's the artwork that found it's way onto coats, coins, clipboards, bullhorns and wrapping paper!
 
 
 
 
Caldwell looking very Cladwell.  A Big THANKS to Jeffrey Meek for making me look so dapper!
 
 
 
I was so honored to have been a part of this wonderfully talented company!  It was also a very special show.  This was Artistic Director, Nick Demos', last mainstage show for Lyric.  After "ROCKY HORROR" this fall, he'll be leaving to produce "VANITIES" and "MEMPHIS" for Broadway.  Thanks, so much, to Nick for including me in this PARTY! 
 
Other Fun Activities
 
 
Opening Night Party at Rococo's.
This is a reunion photo with Lyn Cramer and Brooke Gebb.  Lyn was my "date" in "WHOREHOUSE" at Casa Manana in 1991 (Lyn's last stage appearance)!  A few year's ago, Lyn brought me to Lyric to revive my "WHOREHOUSE" gallery of characters.  Brooke was my "date" in that production!  Life is good!
 
 
 
 
During the run, several of the cast members taught classes for Lyric's Thelma Gaylord Academy.  Here are some of my students discovering their "inner animal" during an Improv Class.
 
 
 
 
When word got out that Lyn and I were performing together, Kathy Neel Gentry, Persis Ann Forster Burdick, Debbie Brown and Susan Mills Polster traveled from Texas for a Casa Reunion!
 
 
 
 
One unique outing I had was to Pop's 66 Diner.  This gas station/ diner/ store on historic Route 66 in Arcadia, OK sells over 500 varieties of soda pop!  A must-see!
