There was a time

There was a time over forty years ago when what happened in the pages of the NY Times about theatre and dance in particular was the most interesting thing I knew.

It was back when the quality of the light was a daily occupation as well as a career goal. Back when I wanted to know and light people like Merrill Ashley and Suzanne Farrell.

Back when Maria Tallchief's name might have appeared in the a piece like a friend commented on recently.

But, long before anything like NNDB started tracking every name in the news in the entire world. How much more interesting would it have been with computers to assist us then?

Well, enough nostalgia. The quality of the light remains to this day the most interesting feature of the day throughout the day.

And, then comes the night.
