"For the BENEFIT of Miss JENNIE GOURLAY" performs very soon! - ForJenniesBenefit - 11-28-2012 10:02 AM

Hello fellows,

I hope this message finds you all well.

I will be presenting 4 performances of my multi-award* winning solo show about Ford's Theatre's leading lady Miss Jennie Gourlay (and Miss Laura Keene, myself, and President Lincoln of course) this coming Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in NYC. Please come see me if you can!

Can you tell us a little bit about it? Sounds interesting.

Any plans for putting it on a DVD? I know it will loose something in the transition, but some of us will never be able to see it otherwise.

Thanks for your interest. I posted about the show when I joined this symposium a little while back. Here's a link to that post, it'll tell you what I'm got:

I hope you can come see it sometime when I get it produced again.

Best,
Billy

Well Gene, I have no plans to put it out on DVD until after I've performed this show as often and as widely as I can. I am hoping to attract a producer for an open-ended run here in NYC and would love to tour the show if possible. I'm also submitting it to regional theatres around the country so never say never, I could end up very close to where you are at some point. Fingers crossed.

Best,
Billy

Whoever thought of the title-possibly owes something to the Beatles song: "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite?"

Billy,
I would love to see this. Too bad I don't live anywhere near New York. Have you any plans of touring with it down south?
