Here are bonus images from my night visiting the cast of the Backstage’s Theatre’s “Out of Order” after their first performance in front of an audience on Feb. 7. It’s a prototypical Ray Cooney farce harpooning a government official whose plans for an extramarital dalliance in a London hotel are thwarted by the discovery of a dead body — in his sixth-floor window. The week of hard work wiped out actor Kevin Lowry, shown above as the cast gathered for notes from director Seth Caikowski after the show. Starring Raja Salaymeh and featuring Eric Mather, Jenny Weiss, Owen T. Niland, Cathy Salaymeh, Mauri Cohen, Jason Tyler Vaughn, Joel Adam Chavez and Kevin Schwarz. Through March 23 at the Backstage Theatre, 121 S. Ridge St., Breckenridge, 970-453-0199 or www.BackstageTheatre.Org. Photo by John Moore of www.CultureWest.Org. Thanks to Christopher Willard, Torie Richardson-Salaymeh, cast and crew.
