Anita Harkess, who plays Alice and Mrs. Arrad, gets her pre-show groove on.
Andrew Hunter, who plays four characters, takes a quiet moment alone near the alley door behind the Bug Theatre.
Logan Breitweiser gets some help having his eye makeup applied.
Chip Winn Wells looks all proper as she prepares to play, well, three uptight proper British ladies. But two days later, she would run her 33rd Bolder Boulder 10K race. There have only been 35 of them. That’s worthy of a standing ovation.

Mark Shonsey plays Manuel, well-meaning but confused and abused waiter from Barcelona with a limited grasp of English.
