Show and Tell: The Teachers' Lounge

This is an image of an apple that was created for a play that I wrote that was performed in Baltimore called "The Teachers' Lounge." I presented the play in Baltimore in 2002. The letters, which spell out "The Teachers' Lounge" have faded quite a bit with the passage of time. The Teachers' Lounge apple really inspires me to keep writing. A gentleman by the name of Mr. Floyd Barnes came to see the play and loved it. In addition to writing to two local papers to share his opinion about the play, Mr. Barnes also presented me with this apple. He passed away about two years ago. While the letters that Mr. Barnes handpainted on the apple may have faded, his memory has not. I continue to be inspired to continue writing plays each time I look at Mr. Barnes' little token, which I have dubbed, "The Teachers' Lounge Apple".
