It was wonderful, I was in high school, the theatre was a good intimate size, and the people working there loved theatre and were generous to us youngsters. My favorite musical was "Finian's Rainbow". I was so sad when the Civic Theatre closed, it was a very important part of my youth. Camera lens but no legs broken.

College. Returning there one more time, in1983.Some of the programs we worked on were Damn Yankees, A Little Night Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, Guys and Dolls and the list goes on. My position was usually Scenic Carpenter and Running Crew. Glen Gauer, F.Dale Davis, David Hayward Master Carpenter, L.Stacy Eddie, Harry Sherbourne, Rick Jones . I i also enjoyed working with many fine actors and musicians and Music Directors such as David Kelly. There are some fun stories to tell about Cas tand Crew Parties , averting disasters, and hauntings inside the old Portland Civic Theatre (some of us slept there after hard work!) Did i mention Thaddeous Shaw?
