Footlight fever: summertime is showtime at the Young Vic in Baltimore for this lawyer
Article Abstract:
Insurance defense attorney Brian Goodman has worked with the Young Victorian Theatre Co. during the summertime to put on Gilbert and Sullivan operettas since 1977. The Young Vic performs in an often packed high school auditorium with a 25-piece orchestra and has produced stars such as Bess Armstrong who went on to movie acting. Almost 80% of its over $65,000 budget comes from ticket sales for the eight performances in July. Goodman uses his phone number at Wright, Constable and Skeen for his contact number and attempts to schedule his practice around performances.

John Pratt is an Atlanta, GA, attorney who has developed designing and handcrafting legal office furniture as a sideline after designing his own office. A client who happened to be from Thos.

His legal practice and furniture business occasionally conflict but Pratt has now split his week between the two with three days for legal work and the rest for woodworking.
