Steve Truncale (Russell Wilson) couldn't believe that Anna wanted to work with him again. Did she so soon forget what happened last summer in Ramshackle Inn or those other Stage Center Productions, The BestMan or The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940? Come to think, why is he an ensemble member of A Reasonable Facsimile Theatre Company after he pulled the stuff he did in Front and 27 wagons Full of Cotton? He may not understand it, but he does appreciate the work. This has been a great, refreshing cast — "Dorrie, I'm sorry that I don't always love nicely."
