Sandra L. Hughes Theatre Collection Grows

bb I spent four days with Nena Couch , curator of the Sandra L. Hughes Theatre Collection at the Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute at Ohio State Univeristy.While there I created audio tapes to detail and deepen the history contained in the collection as we organized press clippings and other items. As
you can see in this photo of Nena and TRI staff member Orville Martin the collection which not only documents over 30 years of my professional career in theatre, but the history of Gateway Performance Productions and my work with artistic collaborators such as mask-maker/performer Michael Hickey and composers Tom Spach and Allen Welty-Green is in excellent hands.

Many thanks to Alternate ROOTS, the Ford Foundation, Gateway Performance Productions, Bunny Vrooman and the shipping team at Diversified Metal Fabricators in Atlanta, Tom Spach, Kit and Ron Austin, Karen Simmons and Michael Hickey . Their support made this experience possible.

"Theatre is the universal means of expression. It embraces all of the arts through which human minds seek to reach one another."Jerome Lawrence, Robert E. Lee - November, 1986
