Proof of Sunshine

A few weeks back we performed My Name is Leslie as part of River Fest in Cambridge. The show went well and we had a great time in the first al fresco production of Mill 6. In reviewing the photos from the show we also realized this was the last nice day weather wise that we've had. Maybe we need to get ourselves back down to the Charles and perform. Maybe that will make the rain go away.

In the photo are John Edward O'Brien, Jonathan Michael Anderson, Becca A. Lewis and Meg Taintor.

Van down by the River

OK, so it's not a van. It's a stage. But we will be participating in The 30th Cambridge River Festival this Saturday June 13th. We will perform Larry Blamire's My Name is Leslie. Our performance starts at 4:30PM on the theater stage (near Putnam Street).

My Name is Leslie is a comedy about bad service and its consequences. Part Twilight Zone episode, part after school special and part WWII movie = all comedy. Featuring Jonathan Michael Anderson and Becca A. Lewis (both recently in Bunbury) plus rare acting appearances by Whistler in the Dark Artistic Director (and T Play audience favorite director) Meg Taintor and Mill 6's own artistic director John Edward O'Brien.

A loss for Boston Theater

Boston Theater suffered a loss last week when Lesley Chapman former Artistic Director of The Theater Cooperative passed away. Lesley was always a friend to us at Mill 6. She helped us out numerous times the most obvious being supplying us with a home during the time that the Piano Factory was out of commission. She was a passionate supporter of small theater in Boston and one whose time was cut far too short. Below is a link to a tribute blog for Lesley. Please feel free to post a message there if you knew her, and if you didn't please take a few moments to read some of the comments people have left. It does provide a little comfort to see how fondly she is remembered and how far her reach went. Rest in Peace, Lesley.
