From the Lenard Interview
Info about the play "Actors":
I'm doing a play with Walter Koenig of Chekov fame, and it's an original hour and five minute long play called Actors. We've tried it out and played it at several conventions and the response was good. W^'re thinking of adding another play now, and making a theatrical evening of it, maybe touring it. Actors is pretty interesting, and a very fine play, and it holds in it an older actor and a younger actor. It takes place backstage just before the opening of a broadway show—three days before the opening—certain crises arise and give these people a chance to come to grips with themselves and each other. It's funny and a very gripping and dramatic play and gives people, not only fans, but other people too, a chance to see Walter and myself in good, strong roles outside of Star Trek.
