I auditioned...I was attending CSU at the same time. I auditioned for " Lil Abner" at the same time and did not make it. I ended up in "Tales of Hans Christian Anderson" By Mary Jane Evens instead. The auditions were the same day. I saw the production and thought it was one of the best musicals I have ever seen. I too had a strange relationship with Maryellen. She had more influence over my directing, choreography and theater in general but she was never particularly impressed with me. I loved her from a far and hold her and her methods responsible for many years of professional theater. I have now taught for over 30 years. I consider her one of the main influences of my career. I teach now at San Francisco State and I wish I could see her again.<br /><br />Derrick SpivaDerrick Spivahttp://ceedtv.comnoreply@blogger.com
