Exit the Body

Written by Fred Carmichael
Directed by Terri Koslowsky
Produced by Drama Tech Theatre

August 1988

My first college play performance was this 3-act drawing room farce. Modestly, my first appearance is at the end of Act I -- when my character is discovered hanging unconscious by a hook in a center-stage closet. I sport a head bandage through the rest of the show as I slowly regains my memory as a detective solving a crime.

Since then, nobody one puts Troy in a closet!

Big contrast: It was 26 years before I played a detective again, and then it was in dramatic films Bad Blood and The Interns.
