Last night was a tremendous success. The talent in the room was felt! Thank you.

This was a private ish- reading for a feature film. Thank you Vincent Marano and the marvelous group of actor listed as well as Bryan Hamilton for entrusting me with his baby. Satya Mai - who is a very talented writer and fun to work with! Alex who carried this piece as stage directions reader. That was not easy and you made it great.

Until next time…
