this was written for the second big company of elegies … which performed at the rapp arts center in the east village in 1990 … having just directed the show at the boston conservatory of music with an amazing cast of students, faculty, alumni and staff, i looked this up and felt it captures many of the same emotions i felt doing the show again…
it was on this day, ten years ago, that bill russell and henry krieger began writing together. this month’s poem is in honor of that anniversary.
bill russell and janet hood will be putting together a production of Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens for the boston conservatory of music with students and faculty on april 25, 26 and 27. there will be a total of 4 performances: 3 evening shows at 8:00 pm and a matinee on saturday at 2:00 pm.
