A long and comprehensive article detailing the author's personal experiences with Barbara Cason, as well as her continued success as an actor in Memphis and beyond. The author, Edwin Howard, was a writer and editor for the Memphis Press-Scimitar associated with the entertainment division of the paper. In the article, he tells the story of how he met Barbara Cason as a member for the Press Crew of a theater performance in Oxford, Mississippi. He dips briefly into her arrival on the Memphis theater circuit, as well as her involvement with “12, Inc.” and the Front Street Theatre, before sketching out some of her accomplishments since her Memphis days, as she's sought career opportunities throughout the country. The occasion for the article was Barbara Cason's return to Memphis and to the Front Street Theatre for a fresh performance on a familiar stage.
