The program from the Best of the Best of No Shame - Friday, October 11, 1996
In fact, it would be impossible to include all of the best of the best of No Shame Theatre in
one evening. People have moved (perhaps too far away to return, or else to parts unknown),
pieces have been lost due to erratic archives, and we must face the simple limitations of time when
composing the roster for such an event. But in spite of these factors, we have managed to
assemble a truly excellent showing of talent from No Shame's first decade. And on that note,
here's the order for the evening. Enjoy the show!!

The No Shame Board would like to thank Alan MacVey and the University of Iowa Theatre Department for inviting No Shame to take part in its 75th anniversary celebration. We would also like to thank the many people whose time and effort helped make this event possible, in particular Margaret DuBé, and all of the actors and writers (those included in this program and all who have ever contributed to the No Shame stage in the past) without whom there wouldn't have been a tenth anniversary to celebrate.
