I've deleted my 11/28 post about an upcoming show that is now downpasted, as 'twere . . . but if you missed it, you can still hear the Gracie Allen(!) Award-winning radio version - go to http://www.wgbh.org/pages/pri/spirit/alphabetical.html#026 and click on "LISTEN"! In monologues I wrote, I play about 6 different contemporary characters, punctuated by music arranged by keyboardist Michael McLaughlin, with Joe Kessler (everyone's favorite fiddler, who also does THOMAS THE RHYMER with me) and singer Mary Casey. The show explores issues of disguise and revelation through the lens of the biblical Story of Esther. We do tour the show; if you think your community might like to hire us, please go to http://www.sff.net/people/kushnerSherman/Kushner/programs.html#esther for details.
