This post is a continuation of the previous post  Way Off Broadway a St. Linus Tradition watch and listen I remember the year 1976 very well. This was the year I was a candidate for the delegate to the Republican Convention (don't hate and more later) and my off stage participation in this incredible annual event. I had volunteered a few years during the 1970's. I remember working the school building halls supplying the crews and staff with whatever was needed at the time of the performances. Each classroom was converted into live theatre stage with metal chairs for the audience. The space was cramped and the ventilation was dismal. The classroom productions were not too long of a performance due to the close quarters for performers and audience. There was one classroom door entrance and exist; exempt by the fire department from code violations - not sure how that could happen, but it did.   the ringmasters Millie & Ted photo above - Chicago SunTimes text
