The Boys of "Civil War"



From "The Civil War" shoot.  The guys were enjoying it.  The show itself was quite a serious undertaking, and they got a kick out of doing a "beefcake" shot.  Of course, it was a foregone conclusion who would be on the cover, but they had fun.

I made a poster of this shot and gave one to each of them.

Shot at the ALLEY THEATRE in Houston on color film, stage lighting.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep the ID info, so the only one I know is Matt Bogart, center.

Poster Figure

The pose chosen for the poster.

In the days before desk-top publishing and Photoshop, the printed figure was painstakingly cut out by hand and photocopied.  The typeface was also cut and paste, although we did produce it on a computer.

The final product, a poster and program in black and white.  Crude by today's standards, but effective.
