Opening Shots: "The Siegel"

The Lightbulb Project presents the Michael Mitnick comedy at Alleyway Theatre

Another glamorous night out during a pandemic. Theater folk Steve Copps (left) and Kelly Copps (right) congratulate Amanda Borowski, who plays Alice.

Opening night became an impromptu Casting Hall reunion as Buffalo State students and alumni turned out to support alumnus Michael Mack, who stars as the title character. Left to right: Corey Gorski, Jesse Zappia, Michael Mack, Elise Vullo, and Jake Grear

The new mural at the Alleyway reminds me of those chunky ashtrays at the old Stork Club in New York City. Before the photographer snapped your pic, the staff would put one of the iconic ash trays into the frame, making every candid photo a publicity shot for the famed nightclub on 53rd Street.

A Stork Club ashtray would be placed on the table, even if the event was a family dinner or kids' birthday party!

The Stork Club ashtray was ubiquitous -- even if it was a kids' birthday party!
