Re: Quote of the day

They were all going to be actors professionally. We do send a remarkable
number of young people off to professional careers in the arts. One of the
biggest succeses associated with our little theatre was Stephen Lyman. I was
once in "Oliver" with Andrea, later his wife. Steve painted the sets,
designed the programs & had his first "gallery" show in the lobby. He was a
regular there for a few years while he was still in school.
