For any of you who missed
the beautiful film OPUS JAZZ when it appeared on PBS, (starring
GEORGINA PAZCOQUIN,
the magnificent
ballerina/Anita in WEST SIDE STORY SUITE at New York
City Ballet) Friends of the High Line is presenting
a free public
screening
of the film on Friday September 10 at 7p.m. You can
link in to see and hear a great TV interview and performance

69/WFMZ.
ANNA
LEWGOOD will be scaring
all the children as the SAS Bodyguard or Head of Security for Prince
John in "Hood" this October.
For those of you who know Anna, you know how
terrifying she can be.
TINA
XENOS (who is one of
my "miracle students")
is a finalist in a showcase coming up this
fall for a comic monologue
she wrote. It may not be a singing gig, but
TINA is one funny broad.

it to me . . .
