Hey, sis. You know, I don't think I was ever inside Sam's O.T.B.R.
The picture is from February 2003, when I was in "Company," the Sondheim musical that marked the end, so far, of my stage career. Right after that, we went and got Sarah. I'd had some combo of beard and moustache, always with sideburns, from Colorado days onward, but after doing "Rumors" clean-shaven at PCT in, um, 2002, I decided that I looked marginally better clean-faced, so that became my new default.
After that, every show I did, I stopped shaving at the start of rehearsals so that the make-up people would have the maximum growth to start from. We did "Thoreau" with me as Sheriff Sam Staples, and it was the only time I played a character who was specified as the exact same age as me (in "Rumors," I played the only character who was definitely younger than me). They were darkening my beard, then putting in a white streak. After a night or two of that, I suggested just leaving my own white streak in place and darkening around it.
But anyway, for "Company," I let everything grow, and they just had me stay that way. I have a whole bunch of pictures from that show, because they were available online, so for once I am pretty well documented all the way through the story line.
