PLOT: A Southern dweeb (David Alan Scott Jr.) is introduced to a potential girlfriend (Danyelle Price) by his brother (Chad Moon). A one-act parody of a story called "The Glass Menagerie."

HISTORY: I auditioned for this play on the afternoon of Thursday, November 7. After a successful readthrough (of the entire play) that day with Chad, I was cast as the gimp-ish Lawrence, and I waited eagerly for the first rehearsal.
The play was to be part of a double-feature of student-directed one-acts. The other play was to be "Laundry and Bourbon," a comedy to be directed by Sally Egan Wittig, starring an all-female cast.
Unfortunately, Sally could not get her cast together, and both her and Jill were too busy with schoolwork to direct anything. As a result, this CCC version of "For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls" was never rehearsed or performed. It was a shame, since none of the (few) parts that I had gotten up at the college that year were as big as my role for this play.
It would be over a year before I would finally get to play Lawrence, which I did in a 171 Cedar Arts production of the same show.
