I was born in Edmonton and I'm a graduate of the University of Alberta. However, I've lived most of my adult life in New York, except for eight years in the 1970s when my husband Harold G. Baldridge was A.D. of Theatre Calgary. In 1981, we returned to NYC

You want to know where it's going . . . You're interested in the characters and their relation to each other. Very stark and edgy too. By: Lorraine James | |||||
