The fall play, PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE, was presented on November 7th and 8th. The cast included Mark Conversino as Mel Edison, Chris Feeszel as Edna Edison, Joanne Proios as Pearl, Nancy Ross as Pauline, Amy Nusbaum as Jessie, Pat DiBattista as Harry and Eric Nusbaum as the Radio Announcer. Mel is a well-paid executive of a fancy New York com- pany which has hit the skids and started to pare the pay- roll. Mel, too, gets the ax. His wife takes a job to tide them over; then she too gets sacked. As if this weren't enough, Mel is fighting a losing battle with the very environs of life. Mel does the only thing left for him to do; he has a nervous breakdown.
