This is a story about two guys who met on a game show in California, lost touch, came to Madison without the other knowing, reconnected, and are now collaborating on a play about a game show.Itâ??s called â??The Game Show Show.â? Students of Madison history will immediately recall that one of the most notorious plays ever staged in this city was called â??The Game Show,â? although the new production does not draw inspiration from its predecessor. Dennis Gordon was a UW-Madison graduate student from Chicago when he mounted â??The Game Showâ? at the Union in 1968.
