Lemon Sky

Lemon Sky was developed at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference in 1968, with Michael Douglas in the cast.

Directed by Warren Enters, the off-Broadway cast featured Charles Durning as Douglas, Christopher Walken as Alan, and Bonnie Bartlett as Ronnie.

Kyra Sedgwick, who met future husband Bacon during rehearsals, played Carol, a teenaged boarder: "pill-popping, promiscuous... who seems to spend most of her time with the US Navy.
