Marmelstein is one of my top five femalian posters here and yes I do know her for a long time as an erudite New York City lady
But I did not know she was theatre
I love that.....theatre is talent time...can’t hide in the collateral set wash like in film
Naked
I love it but I never went to Broadway to see. Play
I did see movies though in the big houses and then we’d walk back home 50 to 70 blocks....4-5 miles up or downtown
I went to off and off off broadway for some stuff
Vietnam vets play called Tracers...Twyla Tharp twice....a western show and Twyla does Sinatra
A few plays
When my mom would visit I’d stand a TKTS to get her tickets to Speed the Plow..early Mamet and Amadeus and Torch Song Trilogy and Biloxi Blues
And I’m not Rapaport
My mom loved and I mean loved Theatre....she’d drag my Red Stripe Beer heiress lover with her....that girl whose deceased momma was a Hollins Virginia grad really indulged and felt comfortable with my Miss Mississippi mom
Yes, we’ve known each other for years now and share a love of our southland.
Amazing how you got around in NYC! You were there when I was pretty young and active so had many of the same experiences - club, clubs, clubs.
In those days, there were many movie theaters in the Village, east and west - retrospective houses that showed old movies and afterwards, we, too, would walk 30 blocks home. It was nothing. A great place to stay slim.
NYC has every type of art coming through as your list proves. As I always think, in those days you either lived a Woody Allen movie life or a Martin Scorcese life. I lived a Woody Allen movie life although during the crack epidemic, occasionally Scorcese would peek through. I just watched “Hannah and Her Sisters” again and marveled at Bobby Short at the Carlyle. My brother used to take me there to see him and one evening I was seated next to...Paul Newman! What a night.
If I ever relocated and I think about that a lot, I’ll miss NYC always.
