"Many of the No Shame regulars were in Washington, D.C. this week for the American College Theatre Festival production of Nijinsky, so there may not have been a show at all. However, I did hear that Stan Ruth and Fred Norberg at least attempted to have a show, but they may have been forced to cancel at the last minute for lack of attendance." ---Jeff
