Both of my parents lived lives filled with the music and literature.  My mother, one of ten children, played piano and sang just like her other nine siblings.  I remember record parties and spending time listening to recordings of jazz and blues on with my dad’s and his 78 record collection.  What else was I to do but study piano, guitar and dance? Theatre came later.  While neither parent was thrilled with my choice to become a “star” instead of a teacher, they nevertheless saw their way through to support my artistic cravings and challenges. Today, I find myself living in a community surrounded by actors, musicians, visual artists and writers and academics.   It represents the best of my dreams and the best of both parents.  I dedicate this page to my parents’ memory.  All donations received through this page will be used to continue the work of Project Sheba:  new play productions, art education and festivals dedicated to enriching and awakening lives through the arts.  All donations are tax deductible.
