The Underwear Parade

Every summer Katie and I go to Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival. We plan our trip around the Daedalus project, the annual fundraiser for Aids Charities. The highlight of the night is the Underwear Parade during intermission. Members of the cast and company parade around in their underwear and then take donations from the audience. The group with the biggest take gets crowned the winner. This year the Underwear Parade raised more than $6,800.

It's a great night. Katie likes to support a good cause while enjoying a whole lot of eye candy.



These hunks represented the production of Cyrano De Bergerac. Yummy!



We met Mark Petersen last year. He is from Lakewood, Washington. We were very excited to see him back for a second season. This year he had a great role in Winter's Tale.



David Kelly is one of our favorite actors. His specialty is comedies. He and his dog almost stole the show in Two Gentlemen of Verona. The dog almost stole the show.



James Newcomb and his son were Richard III and Little Richard, both sporting Spiderman boxer shorts in last year's Underwear Parade. This year James played the lead in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, his son was his "inner child". It was so funny that it almost stole the show.
