Paul Little's comment reminded me I had a photo of him and PUSD Trustee Scott Phelps from the '05 Follies

Casting and the script for Pasadena's self-reflective spoof, The Pasadena Follies, are close to final, says City Spokeswoman Ann Erdman.

Given that the theme of this year's show, "Pasablanca," is a take-off of black and white films of the '30s and '40s, I couldn't possibly imagine who will be cast in Humphrey Bogart's role ...

Proceeds of the Oct. 21 show benefit the senior center. Ann, who writes the script, gets a hand this year from Director Jerram Swartz and music director Barry Gordon.

Participants in recent years: Sue Mossman, Rich Boccia, Tim Brick, Scott Jenkins, Percy Clark, Kevin Uhrich, Larry Wilson, Nina Chomsky, Bill Bogaard, Cynthia Kurtz, Tom Coston, Hall Daily, Victor Gordo, Michele Bagneris, Chris Holden, Kicker Mckenney, Richard Gray, Kellye Wallett, Paul Little, Jan Sanders, Scott Phelps, Darryl Dunn, Rick Barr, Martin Gordon, Rich Roche, Jim Plotkin, Monsignor Tobias English, Roberta Martinez, Arnie Siegel, Paul Lines, Richard Bruckner, Barry Gordon, Lena Kennedy, Teresa Lamb Simpson, Sid Tyler, Fred Messick and others.

Comments

I was in it a couple of years ago. Great fun playing a Beatle and croaking (I couldn't call what I did "singing") along with fellow mop-tops Rich Boccia, Scott Phelps and Rick Barr. I'm more interested to see who gets the Bergman role myself, though my favorite character in the movie has always been Claude Rains' Louis. Paul (the real one, not the pretender)

Thanks(!) for posting the pic. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Paul (the real one, not the pretender)
