Thank you for this, Neil, it is just delightful and just the tonic we ole troupers need in this ugly period. About that same time, i was studying with Stella, taking musical comedy classes down at HB with Charles Nelson Reiley, and two dance classes a day at June Taylor. I’d escaped Long Island hell, and was out of the closet with a vengeance and ensconced in Hell’s Kitchen, then lovingly dubbed “The Dance Belt,” so many gypsies lived there.
Lovely piece. Brought back memories of names and faces from the era that I had forgotten about and captured the excitement of life in the theater for young actors in those days. More pieces from this writer, please!
