I'll be the narrator of "Abandoned Ship"

Captain Charles Butler McVay III

 

Staged reading tomorrow night of Mike Fordyce's film script, "Abandoned Ship." We'll be at a local yacht club reading the story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the tragic aftermath to its secret WWII mission. It's called the worst naval disaster in U.S. history.  Mike says he counted over 150 characters. Each actor will read at least six roles. I am relieved to be the narrator - one role only.

I hope all the tech works out as planned. We will have music stands for our scripts, lighting for the actors, and the whole thing will be videotaped by a pro.
