Neal Mayer – a NY actor who was last scene at the Playhouse as Dale Harding  in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” will be featured on the CBS Early Show on Tuesday, November 15th in a story on actor’s who are hired by Medical Schools to portray patients with a variety of different ailments. Neal portrays a patient with a neurological disorder – I hope his experience here in Ivoryton as a patient in a Mental Hospital came in useful!
