Guys and Dolls in One Minute
-
This is Wally’s senior year, and his last year performing with his younger sister, Sammie, in the high school productions. I’ve known Wally and Sammie for many years, watched them grow up, so seeing both of them performing with such skill, grace and maturity was a bit shocking, and quite endearing too. The whole cast did an excellent job!
As a gift to Sammie and Wally, here’s a little one minute slide show. The final photograph in the show, taken as the lights were dimming for the last time, is my absolute favorite.
Turn up the sound, click here, and enjoy the show!

[...] picture is reminiscent of the picture that started it all. I had come to the Footlighter’s production of Guys and Dolls a couple of years ago when both Sammie and her brother Wally, had leading roles. At the end of that [...]
You are all so sweet. I was just glad to be there to enjoy such an entertaining performance! I LOVED it! You all did a fantastic job!
Thank you so much for taking these. I tried to get as many good pictures as I could, but I was on stage quite frequently (I played Nicely-Nicely) so these pictures really brightened up my day. And yes, the last picture is the best. As a senior, it really touched me. Thanks again, and nice work.
Ah, Jules, what a gift you have. It was indeed moving to see Sammie and Wally perform together–so well in such a great show with such a terrific cast. As usual, you captured the soul of the moments, the energy of the kids–how lucky our town is to have you to chronicle the wonder years of our children.
Hi Julie,
I just sent you a couple of cell phone pics of my dogwoods. I took some pictures on my “real” camera but can’t figure out how to download them.
I LOVE your website. You are a gifted photographer. Thanks for sharing.
~GOD+BLESS~

Outstanding one minute show. Wish we had known both Sam and Wally were perfoming. Would have liked to see the entire show! As usual Julie, outstanding work.
PDG
Outstanding!
I love seeing your work, and this is such a great way for the cast and their families to savor the moment a little longer.
Great job Sammie and Wally
Amazing! Thank you so much for positng/sharing the photos. I knew Wally when he used to sleep in a show trunk in his parents apartment in Manhattan Plaza, where all the show people lived once upon a time.
Chris
