THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER played really well tonight, the band played beautifully, and the production was quite moving. Beth Fowler was really wonderful, but there were lots of great character actors - Gordon Weiss, Mary Strout, Gerry Vichi, Ellen Harvey, and Tina Johnson, whom I've known since her days in THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE - all giving excellent performances. The audience seemed enthusiastic, and I saw lots of friends in the house: Ned Ginsburg, Peter Filichia, Douglas Coen. I am really honored to have been a part of three shows in the Festival.
