James Tolbert - 1s "paying" gig!


My very first "paying" gig...cause let's face it..."professional" is all in the mindset...right? Anyhoo, it was Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in Auburn, NY. There were a LOT of "first" that summer. I was 19 years old....lol...omgoodness....that was just the freakiest thing to put in writing...anyway, I digress...Vinny Telesco was the director and the show was Joseph. Followed by Music Man, Best Littlewhorehouse in Texas and Evita....Magic...just magic....one of the greatest gifts is that I am in touch with a couple of those folks to this day...they're on FB. I am so grateful for that first opportunity. Vinny, I love and miss you. Thank you Peter and Renee for this....Gosh, We are really blessed!!!!
