| The Chalk Garden September, 1986 The Port Tobacco Players, La Plata, Maryland |
| Joe Carvajal as Maitland (lead) |
An April, 2007 e-mail from director Gordon Brown: Joe, I just finished watching a videotape of PTP's production of The Chalk Garden. All of you were absolutely superb! I still think it is one of the best productions ever presented on PTP's stage. I watch that video ever so often. It is wonderful to see all of you young folks! Tom McNair was so good, and so was everyone else. It was a near-perfect cast. It was Carol Charnock's first show with PTP. Now she is one of the prime movers in the organization. The best to both of you. -- Gordon |
