"Using a group of 24 seasoned theatre professionals in the all-male cast, the evening’s performance proved to be some of the finest two hours in LA theater. Yet the spotlight seemed built for Pat Harrington, one of the most gifted and generous performers seen to grace the stage. This must-see show is not just a chance to catch a bit of Bradbury but a view toward the Irish having more than a clue as to what makes life the very best... LA'S THE PLACE

Today was the closing performance of Falling Upward. Mr. B was in attendance as were many close friends of his, among them were: Donn Albright, Sam Weller, John Eller, Irv Kershner and John Miller plus the one and only NARD.

Let us hope that Nard is able to post a few photos for us...

Yeah - today Michael Prichard told me that they were there and that Kersh was as well. I hope he's doing well.

Here is a rough-cut short video from the FALLING UPWARD play festivities in the afternoon of
April 5, 2009. Some of the actors gather around Ray after the final performance, and sing a bit of an Irish tune. Wait! A pause! Ray is still signing books! After the final flourish of the pen, the singing continues...

If you can spot them: in the crowd Ray's biographer, Sam Weller; Jon Eller, finishing up a 3 volume biography of Ray; and Donn Albright, editor of several of Ray's books.

Looks like y'all had a lot of fun, but I still don't think I would have traded my yesterday for it.

I dearly love that song.

Except for the first three seconds, where I appear, the video was wonderful. Wink
I'm glad you could join in the fun.
