H. M. Koutoukas as Wonder Woman, Deborah Lee as a Fierce Beast in  
"The Secret of Tabu Mt.!" (note Judith Gayle Harris in audience far right.)
Ad in Village Voice when John Guare didn't
appear with play (Wonder Woman played) and
ad the following week when Guare did appear
-- all a misunderstanding of the calendar.
Deborah Lee as a Fierce Beast
in  "The Secret of Tabu Mt.!"
In a misunderstanding, John Guare did not appear for his set performance date.  Donald Brooks, in the abscence of Johnny Dodd
in the light booth had just purchased and was reading a Wonder Woman comic book.  Upon hearing Joe Cino say to the effect
"what are we going to do, we have to have something", showed Joe the comic book and said "Let's do this!  Joe immediately said
yes, and sent Robert Patrick out for more copies at Lamston's, Brooks suggested that H. M. Koutoukas (who had just left the
building) play Wonder Woman -- he was chased down the street, brought back and the show went up on time -- just changing the
lights every time a frame ended.  By the end of the week, no one needed the script (comic book) but carried them anyway.  Others
in the cast that night were Joe Cino, Johnny Dodd, Charles Stanley and Deborah Lee.
