Above, in front of the startling full wall backdrop that duplicated the numerous
obituaries that were printed in the Bay Area Reporter, a local San Francisco gay
newspaper, (and which always drew a gasp of recognition from the audience
when it was revealed) mourner Doug Holsclaw is consoled by Ron Johnson,
Bert Lacquement and Kenneth Koppes in "Comes a Time."

Below, Doug Holsclaw and Samm Gray wrap up their "Favorite Faded
Jeans/Janitor's Son" sequence.

Below, "Waiting for the Lab Report": Ron Johnson, Doug Holsclaw, Bert Lacquement,
Kenneth Koppes and Samm Gray in what we called The Reality Poses with
which they began the show, and to which they returned as each segment resolved.
The flash of the lighting equipment makes the flat behind look like it's covered in
oatmeal. It didn't look like this in performance. Their starkly backlit silhouettes
were striking, and admittedly inspired by A Chorus Line's line up of dancers
in their trademark character poses.
