Colony Connection

Many years ago I met Clark & Melissa Nicholson at the Lost Colony and then they hung out working the shows I was producing and living in my TV room and Clark made Alice’s little crutch for the Colony and then Clark & Melissa went to Harrisburg PA and opened their own theater and hired Melissa Anne Blizzard who I knew at the Colony her first year but she didn’t know Clark & Melissa at the Colony but being a Colony veteran helped her get the job with them. Alice & her crutch retired from the show and her brother Max was working props one year and found her crutch on the burn pile and fetched it home where it lives in the umbrella stand by the front door. A few years later back at the Colony again I met young Robbie Gay who continued to work at the Colony and met Melissa Anne Blizzard when she came back to the Colony a few years later but I had thrown in the towel and moved away from Manteo. And then Melissa Anne Blizzard went to Myrtle Beach to be a costumer at some school and I was starting yet another doomed small theater start-up (my specialty) in Southern Pines NC and Robbie Gay came to direct it and live in my TV room. And we needed a costumer so he suggested Melissa Anne Blizzard and I said ‘I Know Her’ so she came to Southern Pines and while hanging out we discovered our Colony connection to Clark & Melissa in Harrisburg PA so one day on my way to rehearsal I grabbed Alice’s little crutch out of the umbrella stand and took it with me and asked Melissa Anne Blizzard to stand outside holding Alice’s little crutch over her head for a picture and she thought I was strange but she did it and then I emailed the picture to Clark & Melissa. So this picture exists only because of my Lost Colony connection with Clark & Melissa and Robbie Gay and Melissa Anne Blizzard and Alice’s little crutch.

Welcome to my brain.
