del.icio.usTo the editor:
I am writing to thank you and Paulanne Simmons for the glorious review
we received [“Afternoon Delight,”
GO Brooklyn, Sept. 3]. Our crowd doubled in size on Sunday as a result
of the great press.
We are a young theatre company, based in the city, struggling to pay high
rents for space in order to work. It was a real gift to spend the summer
in Brooklyn Heights working on our craft. The beautiful view, fresh air,
and the warm reception from the neighborhood were both exhilarating and
inspiring.
It is important to mention that we were able to present “Free Shakespeare
on the Waterfront” in the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park only because
the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy invited us. Patti McDannell, director
of programming & special events, saw our production of “Twelfth
Night” in April, and immediately thought it would be well received
on the Brooklyn waterfront. The conservancy funded the entire project
in addition to all of the other summer programming, movie nights, socials,
etc. They are working toward their mission, which is to serve the community
while maintaining the history and character of the park.
We are implicitly grateful for the opportunity to work as artists and
for your support of our production, but we could not have done it without
the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy.
— Gina DeMayo, founding producer
thriftshop theatre workshop, Manhattan
