a personal statement
Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes today.
I spent a relaxing and special birthday in Pennsylvania at Thistledew Farm with David Beahm and Aimua Eghobamien.
Just us chickens in the morning.
Then shopping in picturesque Bethlehem on Main Street.
Finally, an al fresco dinner and watching the stars come out.
Once again Rockefeller Center’s design team and landscapers create a soothing space in the middle of the city. Pergolas and formally arranged plantings with benches to sit and enjoy. Early morning on the way to work is the quietest time to visit before the crowds of lunchtimers or tourists gather.
So, much to my surprise, a play I submitted in a summer competition was accepted and now I have to decide to I want to do all the work involved in mounting a production! It’s only a 20-minute play, but it involves 4 actors, props, a program, rehearsals, dress rehearsal, 3 performances, and 4 more if it makes the finals. All of this before August.
The first step was creating a visual presence for the play so it could be advertised along with the other plays in the competition. So here’s my graphic for that purpose.
Let me know what you all think: about the graphic, about the doing the play. And a happy 4th to you all as well!
A beautiful cactus rock garden has been planted in Rockefeller Center for the summer. Sleek and spare they are the perfect counterpart to the lush spring planting that preceded it.
One last rehearsal before the performance at Rockwood Music Hall tomorrow, 18 May at 7 pm
