Thank You...
....to The York Theatre Company, James Morgan and his crew, for putting A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE on its stage so beautifully, thus providing a chance for so many to see and be moved by what that show has to say about life and love....yesterday's final audience was loud and enthusiastic in their support of what we had to give them...it was a terrific send-off for the project we have all been working on so hard for the past 10 weeks...
...to Eric Haagensen and Richard Isen for writing such a beautiful show...one that I had the good fortune to begin to work on 16 years ago at Goodspeed...these two men do have a lyrical gift...and much love in their hearts...Peter Beagle did write the book (at age 19, no less!) and it was Eric and Richard who saw the theatrical potential in it, put hours of thought and craft into it and who kept championing it through the years until they were able to realize their Off-Broadway dream of it...
...to the Staff and Tech Crews of the York...and amazing group of loving people,who, for little money work as hard and produce results that millionaires would be pro9ud of....Tim, the ever-smiling and funny Tim, who had the onerous burden of being Wardrobe Mistress to us all, and helped me change....lovely Andrea, also ever-smiling Assistant SM who ran a tight shop backstage and never was less than dear and loving...Scott, who became our SM late in the run and who loved this show so much...
...to Brian, Sol, Nancy, Alissa, Kirk, all of the wonderful York people...they do so much with so little...they keep the place pulsating with mission and strength...
All in all, this FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE experience was top-of-the-line, as far as NYC theatrical experiences go...and they deserve the special Drama Desk Award they received last night for their contribution to the development of Musical Theater...this is a company whose work i can solidly get behind and assist , and so i shall , in any way i can, when the time comes. David McCoy, President of their Board, is a stellar man, tall, handsome and thrilled by what is possible at the York, and he has devoted much time and effort to helping it through the years. I like him so much.
And onward.....so much to write about....I especially want to write about the York, in the days to come, and its special mission...how truly unique it is...the specific nature of its heartbeat and goals...
But for now.....tra la! and off i go into the day....(which is gorgeous , cool and sunny )!
