John Slade, Director

John Slade made his theatrical debut in the role of Wally Webb in a production of Our Town when he was in the ninth grade. He describes that initial role as a spiritual experience. He describes this production, 41 years later, as his love letter to Ojai. He cast people in this show according to their actual professions. James Halverson, Dr. Gibbs, is a family physician in Ojai. Jeff Bennett, Constable Warren, is a Deputy District Attorney and former Sacramento Police Officer. John Hankins, Editor Webb, edits the Sierra Club newsletter and runs his own newspaper clipping service. Douglas Day, the Stage Manager, had a long-standing friendship with Thornton Wilder's sister. John now teaches English and Drama at Nordhoff High School in Ojai.
