Gail -- A lovely summing up.

It's been just over 7 months since we drove away from the Barn, and even before this last stretch there were the mini-reunions in Oakland, New York, at Winedale for the British actors visit, as well as Alice's swing through Austin, Craig's meetings for his brilliant initiative... I'm sure I'm missing a few. That one week we spent together continues to expand and grow in remarkable ways, and these emails are an important part of that. Words do matter, they do cross the oceans. So you ARE here every time I read these great notes from you.

And as fun as it is to write them, I do admit to looking forward to the day (week, rather) when we won't have to send these notes for once, because it'll mean we're all together someplace at the same time.

Here's to the next grand adventure(s)!

cheers to all,

c

Dear friends,

I feel as if the past couple of months have been brimming with life, even in death. Lizz and Virginia so beautifully remembered. Michael and Madge and her co. feted for their excellence (something we've all known directly and personally), Clayton's generously full and heart-felt narratives, Mary's poems, Maggie's singing, Jeff's hat and his gardening know-how, Doc's name being flashed up on a screen in a NY theatre, Joy's lavender font. And warmth and goodness in every single email. I am with you so fully in my heart, I swear, and wish with all of that full heart that I could have been with you in person.

Love, Gail

The attached review of THE METHOD GUN is from TIMEOUTNEWYORK. The production received FIVE STARS. Anyone who follows this publication (as I do) knows that maybe a handful of productions in the entire year of New York theater receives FIVE STARS. These critics are tough. Major congratulations to Madge and the Rude Mechs for being the talk of the town.

For some reason in my scanning of the attached review you cannot make out the Five Stars (they are in the black portion of the review directly below the title). But they are there in a bold way in the magazine.
