Now entering my teens, I had my second Main Stage production, while also still attending the kid's group for a second production in 1978, Saturday Workshop (1978) in Prompt Corner. In Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1978) five of us from the Saturday group made up the "no-neck" monsters of Gooper and Mae, who torment Maggie the Cat. We were paraded a couple of times in the early acts, and we had to sing Happy Birthday to Big Daddy. Philip Parker (Cast member)
