Doug Moe: Pair make a deal, create ‘Game Show Show’

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.
