Hi Robin!

Thanks for your kind message and correct me regarding the actual words in the HUMANS REMAIN title you wrote for your great, prize winning play!

I'm urging all 500 actors who get my MOVIE ACTORS CO-OP NEWS email newsletter to attend....some live in NYC, very rich actors!  I appealed to them pitching the low price for actors!  Not elegant, but realistic!

Below is an advanced (not completed) copy of MACO NEWS #191 set to go out Jan. 10, 08 which includes a HUMANS REMAIN story with the PROPER name of the title correctly presented!

Keep up the good work!  You really are a treasure and all Antiochians everywhere (esp. performing arts community members worldwide) are very proud of your great work and award!

Best,
Yazz (David) Allen '66

PS..........Copy of my MOVIE ACTORS CO-OP NEWS (MACO NEWS) #191 which urges actors to attend the Jan. 14, 08 Manhattan reading of your play upcoming, FYI!
