Good Will
Plunged finally into revising my revised
memoir of New York improved beginning
Gary invited me to send I want to sell it
publication readers many years writing
waiting for costumer friends help
visualize Annette Bening says good
costumes give her the character
Robin arrives Steve sick two months
Kelsey husband calls she in surgery
dog hit by car Robin admires my
harpsichord never heard before live
we talk through the costumes easy
simpatico paragon good will I'm
scared this play too hard subtle
these inexperienced actors asking
magic of theatre save us all I
watched runthrough "Lady's Not
for Burning" our little theatre's
latest effort see what's needed set
the lights no pain the play so witty
one more day "Butter Boy" begins
I am preparing to direct an amateur production of "The Flight of the Butter Boy," a play by Guy J. Jackson that the author gave me in typescript, hoping I would produce it, seven or eight years ago when I was producing a play at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara and he was working in the box office. I liked the play immediately, enormously, but my partner was not interested in directing it, and I had lost too much money on my last production. The writer, who was not older than 20 or 21 when I knew him, subsequently moved to Chicago, and eventually I lost track of him. Someone I know ran into him on the street in San Francisco last year, and he may live there, but he is not in the phone book. I have tried all kinds of internet searches, Craig's List, everything I can think of. I hope he still wants me to do his play. I have royalties for him in my budget. Guy Jackson, please get in touch!
