Andy Tolman spent his first fifty theater years in the audience, enjoying both amateur and professional performances. He was encouraged to audition for Laughter on the 23 rd floor by his daughter at the turn of the century. That experience motivated him to continue to seek auditions, including one for Lucy for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. After working with Monmouth Community Players for a couple of
years, Lucy encouraged him to try Open Book Players. He’s been in dozens of their productions, most notably, the touring version of World’s Afire and several summer tours to libraries and schools.
He’s been on the OBP board since 2003 and was recently promoted to President. He particularly enjoys the biannual Reading Rumpus, where we stage Maine Author’s children’s books. The reactions of the audience and authors to seeing their stories performed is always gratifying. Our presentation of Memorial was another excellent experience.
