Many, many thanks to all who posted birthday greetings. My brother, Phil Mendelsohn pointed out that my new age - 53 - has a nice association. Looking forward to travel and hi jinks in style this year!

Here's what people said about the show:

“A great accomplishment, a beautifully crafted remembering.”

“Exhilarating acting of the beautiful words of Paul Monette.”

“The performance made me feel hopeful, part of a community, reverent.”

“Fantastic! A really important service in portraying the guts of the AIDS crisis and bringing Monette’s poetry to stirring life.”

“I was reminded of that time period and the devastation of AIDS to my community. At various times, I felt the ache of Paul’s grief and pride for the commitment Paul and Rog had in the face of adversity.”

“Thank you for sharing this poignant piece.
While the memories are hard, the story needs to be told.”
