ALL AMERICAN - Company Memories
St. John's Drama Society


Michael Ortman, Professor Stanislaus Fodorski
I had the priviledge of playing Professor Stanislaus Fodorski. I will NEVER forget the Friday night performance of the second weekend. The Senior class had spent the day on retreat. Must have eaten some bad chicken or something. Started feeling sick about 6:00 pm, and by showtime, I was near death. But as they say, the show must go on. No matter what I attempted to drink... even a sip of water, it was back up in minutes. I was running off stage between scenes to... well, you get the idea... Couldn't talk or sing without water. Couldn't remain upright for long with it! Martin Mullan and I opened Act II that fateful Friday night in the "Press Box", a scafold in the middle of the auditorium. If I recall, Marty brought a bucket for me, just in case!
Final show for...
Alexander Colevas, Bobby Dean, Kevin Gavin, Kristen Geimer, Jill Lynch, Martin Mullan, Dennis O'Brien, Mike Ortman, Nancy Schap, Alice Trone, Dan Trone
