Sound track by Richard Palmer from the GigaPan Scavenger Hunt! by Brandon Keat

This musical was a master's thesis for the Carnegie Mellon University music dept.
The original cast used to rehearse in the old (and sorely missed) Skibo Hall - the fromer student union.
I saw the play in San Francisco in about 1974, and recognized nearly 1/2 of the cast.
