 Three Little Maids from... oh, no. Sorry. It's the Aestheticized Officers: Colonel David Byrd, Major Joe Spano, and Duke Philip Proctor.

 

 The roomful of Antaeans and friends express their enthusiasm -- on this night the light bulb first shines: Say, we thought, this show might make a good choice for the fall production! Would that be possible?
