    Maxwell Caulfield Bares His Soul
    by Joseph F. Panarello  Broadway World Apr. 18, 2006
    "Coming to the States, Caulfield's first role was in a gay farce at what was then called the Truck and Warehouse Theater on East 4th Street. "They were four days from opening and needed a guy to come in at the end of this ridiculous show, where everyone had gone to this gay resort in Florida, and bring the curtain down. He was supposed to be the new lifeguard. I walked on stage, everyone had a big laugh and the curtain came down. That was my part." In addition to appearing in the play, Caulfield hastens to mention that he also ran the concession stand during intermission before he came onstage in his Speedos in the play's final scene. "The show ran all summer," he comments, "I don't know how we did it. We played for months!" Finally the production was evicted from the theater. The cast returned from a weekend holiday only to discover that the show's lease had run out and a new play was being loaded onto the stage. That was the end of that gig!"
