8:00 p.m.

The Orders for the two BONS shows is a guess. A preliminary Order was posted on the interenet prior to the show. But this may not have been the final Order. Also, there were some changes in the order from Friday to Saturday. The "official" order was posted later based on two (undated) sets of notes on the LBO scripts. For the purposes of this archive, it has been assumed that the Friday show probably stuck more closely to the prelim order than the Saturday show. But this is all just a guess. ---webmaster

The order was never written down for either night, and I know we did the order differently each night. I remember that John Bryant had to leave early the first night, so we put everything with him in it early in the first act that Friday. I'm not sure if we left it that way the second night. The big problem in sorting it out is that we didn't write down the changed order for the second night, we just put new numbers on the scripts and changed them around. ---Ristau
