Dear Harvey,
Thank you for forwarding this correspondence. I just wanted to tell you
how much I enjoyed and was touched by My Life is My Sundance which I saw
during its final matinee performance. Doug Foote seemed to channel Leonard
Peltier. We are proud to have been able to host this production at BMoCA.
Regards,
Joan
