: I just have to correct the addition of a Coke machine, though. It was a Pepsi machine. I remember it well, because all our family ever drank at home was Coke, and I was always so aware of the difference in the flavor. To this day, I am a Pepsi fan and every once in awhile, on that first sip, I will flash back to a hot summer's day on the crumbling concrete steps in front of the box office and the wonderful taste of that icy cold Pepsi coming out of a tall, scratched-up, glass bottle. Ahhh!
: Anyway, it was great to hear from you, and I hope others will continue to send us memories to enjoy.
Hey, Sue. I was on the phone with Rodney Mitchell a couple nights ago. Rodney was an electrician/actor at DAF Summer Theatre around 1966 (Spoon River, The Crucible), and I was telling him about this website and my impulse to recreate the theatre on a computer design program right down to the Pepsi machine outside the box office, and he interrupted me and said: "It wasn't a Pepsi machine; it was a Coke machine." Very emphatic. Anybody else remember this important detail??? I do remember ushering in my early CT days, and of course the intermission job was serving Coke (I'm quite sure of that) in the lobby from a machine as the audience wandered onto the patio or circulated around the House viewing the art. On the facade of the theatre in silhouette were figures from Greek drama. Anybody know what the play was?
