The Hilltop Summer Theater

Here is a wonderful update on memories from a summer in 1961, at The School of Creative Arts on Martha's Vineyard.

The backstory is here:

a phone call from a fan


a fan letter


Today... Edward Seamon ("Stanley," from that 1961 production of "A Streetcar Named Desire") and I spoke on the telephone and it was a remarkable conversation that was filled with memories and nostalgia and I was filled with great joy.

A Magical Moment!

What did you do today?

I went to the Agora Gallery to see "The Prodigy of Color," the paintings of Aelita Andre.









In some obtuse way... I am reminded of "My Kid Could Paint That." Google it.

I saw War Horse tonight at Lincoln Center and it was so exciting and it was almost majestic.

A House That's Shy About Revealing Its Age

An Early Memory

Once upon a time, it was from one of these houses that we left to go to a party in the Clara Barton School. It is indeed strange how some memories stick with me... and how I can still see the inside of that room filled with colorful balloons, hear the laughter, smell the sweet candy and cake, and so vividly remember the happy celebration inside that school on a day so long long ago.
