Photo of the Day: Good Ol Girl, Ernie and Me

This was taken yesterday afternoon at the Hollins University Theatre, shortly before the production of "Good Ol' Girls" began. On the left is director Ernie Zulia, the theatrical genius who runs the program at Hollins and produces play after play of exquisite value.

We're posing with Mary Ellen Apgar, one of my favorite cast members of the student production (I love redheads; used to be one before it all grew out)--and a production that is very nearly as good as the professional version I saw several years ago. Mary Ellen, who is a Horizon student and history major, had some great numbers and so looked and talked the part of the good ol' girl. She's a senior and will graduate next month.

The show runs through Sunday and you are required to see it. It is quite marvelous.
