It Began...

Officially on January 2, 1982. But the seed was nurtured in the months preceding. We had all been out of North Texas State University for about five years and had been getting together at parties since then. and no one was doing anything in the theatre in Dallas, no one was trying too hard, but there was a closed feeling to theatre at that time. So it was thought we could do something on our own. 

At North Texas there was a tradition of doing two student led and produced shows, through the University Players. These were called Cabaret shows and were essentially revues with songs, dancing and comic interludes. Most of us who became the Bomblets were involved with the comedy troupe, since singing was not our strength, although Arlene and Diana did participate in the musical portions, and Allen was incredibly talented at that stuff.
