Forever Plaid, Prescott Center for the Arts

In an exchange performance we had Arizona Theatreworks come up the hill for a weekend to present "Forever Plaid," a paean to the naive four-part-harmony of the late '50s. It's classic cornball music, but it requires real vocal chops to do it. Fun show, originally scored for piano trio; artistic and musical direction by Steve Hilderbrand.

I subbed for the company bassist who couldn't make the weekend. Contract, $50 per service, paid before opening night, with two rehearsals and three performances. I got the book a month in advance along with the cast recording.
