And So It Goes

I AM MY OWN WIFE closed today in Harrisburg. A few days ago the Open Stage Theatre received the following.

To: Cast and Crew of “I Am My Own Wife”
OPEN STAGES

Dear Cast and Crew,

I hear wonderful things about your production of my play in Harrisburg, and I just wanted to write and (a) thank-you from the bottom of my heart for your decision to do the play, and (b) wish you all due congratulations on its success.

I was a great fan of the New York production, and its star Jefferson Mays. In my heart, I worried that the play wouldn’t survive without him…after all, the role is a bit demanding! So it thrills me to know that actors like Dennis Fox have triumphantly made it their own, illuminating Charlotte in all her complexity. And I’m profoundly gratified to hear that directors like Don Alsedek have so sensitively captured the show’s spirit.

I wish you a happy run at Open Stages. I’ve no doubt that audiences are in for a treat.

Fond regards,
Signature
Doug Wright

There is nothing I admire more in my fellow men than a touch of class, and this gesture from Mr. Wright is full to the brim. As the artistic director’s wife said, “ He didn’t have to do that.” No, he didn’t. But it was much appreciated by us all.
