(Community Matters) The Uniter of England has long intrigued Robert Faires, who will debut his one-man show, Henry V, at the Off Center starting July 2. Barbara Chisholm producing through, Red Then Productions.
Steven and Robert Faires
Barbara organized a fundraiser at their SOCO home. They both told stories of Robert imagining this one man show for over 20 years, Barbara admitting Rosalind coming up with the idea. They are producing the show for Robert’s 50th birthday.
Barbara Chisholm
The food & drink was spectacular, all at the hands of Austin’s favorite actor – and an increasingly important producer, Barbara.
Larry Connelly, Michael Barnes & James Armstrong
Caught up with James & Larry – Steven and James traded stories about hosting moms for vacations in Europe, and what great memories that’s left for James. Michael filling me in on what a lovely weekend he and Kip had at Cliff Redd’s & Rick Johnson’s in Galveston.
Barbara & Turk PipkinTurk is making much progress on plans to build a school in Kenya. He’s raised nearly $40k of the necessary $70k, and Nike appears close to coming in as a sponsor.
Linda Ball & Gary Cooper
In addition to Linda & Gary, we enjoyed connecting to their partners, Forrest Preece and Richard Hartgrove. Also nice seeing my 20+ year friend, Joan Lava as well as many others, including Zach Scott’s Elizabeth Challener, her husband Brett and Emma Virjan author of Nacho the Party Puppy.
Not only were we treated to a reading by Robert, but Meredith McCall performed, accompanied by Jason Connor.
Steven and I very excited about this production – Robert such a true Shakespeare fan – and great seeing Barbara produce her second show.
Apologies to John Hogg for not being able to attend his surprise 50th birthday party. Hope it was a blast!
