Officer Bell of the Tippo Parking Violations Bureau testifies about a certain ticket he wrote for a pink Cadillac parked illegaly on Turk St. This picture SO reminds me of pictures I've seen from my mom's scrap book of shows she was in in college. From L to R: Maggie Hollinbeck, me, Michelle "Maisey" Mais, Scott Waara, Joe Joyce (you can't really see him) & Kelly Maguire. Not pictured: Bill Thomas as the Judge.
Here's the photo that ran in Daily Variety & scads o' other publications. Defense Attorney Waara is grilling me, compelling me to "Sing out!" and confess. Never passing up an opportunity to perform, I do.
Reverend
Purify is sworn in by the Clerk & Bailiff.
That's right, I wasn't just Officer Bell; I was also the Clerk. It was
an acting stretch. I kept my jacket on & played the Fluke instead
of the bass. As an actor, we often ask, "What's my motivation?"
My motivation: by playing the Fluke, not only did I add to the sonic palette
of the show, but I also made an extra $12 a week. (Wanna hear
the Fluke? Wanna buy a Fluke?)
From L to R: me, Maisey & Joe (this time you can see him). Still not
pictured: Bill Thomas as the Judge.
