Debra Billman Weitzell
Debbie was a nice, smart Mormon lady who was a member of the
Old Pueblo Playwrights around the same time I was attending
meetings, and though she never really approved of all my swearing
and homosexual characters and violence and sex scenes and drinking
and what not, she did believe in me as a writer and as a thinker
and she directed a really bang up staging of Rumpelstiltskin
for the OPP New Play Festival. I mean, it went from being a
cute little show to being quite a statement about youth and
Debbie pulled it off in about a week and a half of rehearsals.
Later on, when I was at college, she directed a Quicksilver
show, the critically well-received Arms and the Man. After that
she sort of withdrew from the theater scene but every now and
then I would run into her somewhere, usually just after she had
changed her hair color. She always looked best, in my opinion,
as a golden blonde.
