In the Summer of 1997 WNMTC produced How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a popular show but not particularly one of my favorites. The composer, Frank Loesser, also wrote Guys and Dolls. I did the vocal direction and played a small role, Mr. Twimble. When not onstage I was in the pit playing synthesizer.
It's funny that there's a quotation of Twimble's on Quotes.net:
Mr. Twimble: Last month I became a quarter-of-a-century man.
J. Pierpont Finch: Oh, that's beautiful, a quarter-of-a-century.
Mr. Twimble: Quarter-of-a-century.
J. Pierpont Finch: How long have you been in the mail room?
Mr. Twimble: Twenty-five years. It's not easy to get this medal. It takes a combination of skill, diplomacy, and bold caution.
