The three original Billys made a surprise visit to a gathering of students from three schools that were the earliest entrants in the Fidelity Future Stage Playwriting Contest. Some excellent photos here! Enjoy.

Thanks, Ellen. Great pics. It must have been an early morning cal. Kiril and David look like they were just pulled out of bed!

Good find, Billy Whiz. If I lived in NY, I would certainly go to this.
Interesting that David A. is not listed for this event along with the other three boys.

Don't you imagine he's probably got something else planned for that day?

I can't think what. It's not his birthday or anything.

So what could he have planned johnnyc?

So what could he have planned johnnyc?

I dunno. Perhaps the birthday party of a family member? Whatever it is, I suspect it's rather important, to take him from the meeting with Daldry and the others. Since we'll probably never know, anything we might say is conjecture. I think we'd best let it go with that.

I agree johnnyc. When you asked originally I thought you actually knew what he had planned.

Great find! Thanks for this. I'm going to try to go to this. I hate that David wont be there but I would love to hear Stephen Daldry talk about the creation of the show.
