Last summer I was sitting under the trees looking forward to sharing my chocolate mousse with not only my stomach, but  Bob Currier as well. I always bring one for Bob to enjoy and this time was no exception. My two children were by my side and they were once again thrilled to come see […]

I began attending Marin Shakespeare productions at Dominican College’s Forest Meadows Amphitheatre in the summer of 1972 shortly after I moved to southern Marin from San Francisco.  During the subsequent 37 years I have attended many memorable productions, first at productions by John and Ann Brebner and for the past 20 years some fabulous theater […]

In the summer of 1992, I was offered one of the first AEA contracts to play both of the Dromios in Bob’s production of “Comedy of Errors.”  It was one of the most chock-filled summers of fun — I ran my ass off every night for two hours straight!  Bob came up with an idea […]

After 19 years on the Marin Shakespeare Company board of directors I have many memories, but none stands out like my first meeting with Robert and Lesley Currier. It was in the Fall of 1989 at the home of John and Barbara Brebner. Through the years I had attended many meetings with people […]

This happened about a dozen years ago.  I had never been around actors very much, and as a social scientist, I was fascinated by the close-up view I got as a member of the Board.  There’s a whole set of traditions, superstitions and attitudes that surround their performances, I observed. One of these puzzled me […]

It is a fun place to be creative.  It is  always entertaining   I could not think of any single moments because the shows were great overall.  It was a wonderful segment of time in my life.

My favorite memory is Lesley playing Puck at the last minute and doing an admirable job!

Boy this takes me about one second to remember, but then when I start thinking about it there are so many (why is Darren Bridgett in so many of those?)
The list of wonderful folks that I have had the privilege to work with (too numerous to list) and the opportunities I was given to expand […]
