Plays
My latest major project is a musical, Find the Golden Bird, with music by Emily Rose Simons. Inspired by a Norwegian folk tale, it entertains and instructs both children and adults. Its central theme is hope -- how to distinguish it from wishful thinking and to use it wisely. Anyone interested can reach me a 212-864-4572 or lryates@panix.com.
