“’Too Many Nights in a Barroom: A Burlesque Melodrama’ was a resounding success,” said the large audience who saw the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council production on Saturday, May 20. Tom Clear skillfully adapted the play to take advantage of a large cast of neighborhood residents, who, as these pictures will attest, had a lot of fun with their parts.

The principal players were: Dan Shea, Mary Bea Stout, Peter Schmit, Terry Vanicelli, Ed Stout, J. Terrance Farris, Karen Kelsey, and Lisa Horner. Assorted wastrels, temperance ladies and children were: Richard Beitler, Roy Bell, Meg Flynn, Rose Flynn, Laura Horner, Ann Judy, Christa Kelsey, Claudia Lawrenz, Al Nerviani, Jeremy Schoenfeld, Martin Stout, Rita Sweets, Monica Vanicelli, Madeline Vanicelli, and Kathleen Williams.
