One of the definite highlights of my career was producing a reading of Nathan Ross Freeman's HANNAH ELIAS at The Players Club on Gramercy Park in June 2008.

Another highlight was watching Stu Richel mesmerize an audience in the role of John Platt, the New York Senator whose affair with the African American enchantress Hannah Elias triggered murder and scandal in turn of the century NYC.

So you can imagine how thrilled I am that HANNAH ELIAS made it into the hands of George Ferencz at La MaMa and will be included in SHADOW - readings of new works of African American history - and that Stu will be continuing in his role.
