CoHo Offers The Public A Chance To Be Part Of Their Lobby Display

We're willing to bet you have a story that portrays you in the light of a fool for love. We invite you to share your story with us and be a part of CoHo Theater's lobby display to complement CoHo's upcoming production of Fool for Love by Sam Shepard.

Up to 500 words, Photos also permitted, You can submit it anonymously, or own up to it.

Yes, WE knew we were opening Friday, did you? We'll be quite happy to accept lobby contributions throughout the run of the show - November 21.

Here's an example.:
"I was crazy for Trudy. Long, straight blond hair down to her butt. Dark eyebrows. Just my height. One Saturday I rode my bike (this was in junior high) to her house. Too embarrassed to knock on the door, I just started doing tumbling routines in the yard across the street. I probably did about 60 rolls of different kinds on the dried grass. The folks who lived there probably thought I was crazy, but no one came out. I thought I saw a curtain rustle in Trudy's house, but wasn't sure. I finally gave up, and left for home. I saw her at school, but neither of us said a word to the other. I later learned that I'd had the wrong address. I wonder to this day who was watching me through the curtains, and what they were thinking."

Pathetic, truly. YOUR story is very likely much better. Send your contribution to imafoolforlove@CoHoProductions.org and we'll post our favorites on the lobby wall.

Don't forget to come visit the CoHo Theater to see your contribution to the display and to see the show!
