Iolanthe (1957)

Good Shepherd Parish House
June 3 and (through?) 5, 1957

Note: the program book for this production appears to be self-contradictory
with regard to the performance dates. The front cover clearly states Monday
and Wednesday, June 3 and 5; but the staff listings
contained within give separate ticket personnel and ushers for Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday.

Anyone who remembers this production is invited to clarify this for us by sending e-mail
to [email protected] Until that
happens, it seems best to assume that there were actually three performances,
June 3 through 5.
