Flotilla, who performs regularly with the Amarillo Community Masquers and has always wanted to be a professional stage actress but does not have the resources or gumption to try to make a go of it, has gotten the notion that she can experience the life of a New York actor by persuading Castor Collins to try his hand at it and watch the whole of it through his eyes, maybe even whispering acting tips to him while he’s performing. This, in a very real sense, would be a collaboration. Due to public pressure, it is now illegal for an actor to portray a character who differs in any significant way from himself (herself, thonself). So Castor has an advantage auditioning for the role of Don Baker in Butterflies Are Still Free Again, as Don Baker is blind and so is Castor. There are, of course, other blind actors who are vying for the part, but not one of them appeared magically in a spaceship as an infant, which both the character of Don Baker and Castor Collins did.
