How We Met: Antoinette and I met at an on-line writers forum during the pandemic when the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Grad Acting Alum Writersā Forumās monthly workshop was moved from in-person gatherings in Manhattan to gatherings on Zoom. I met long-lost classmates and discovered Antoinette (from a later class) when she performed a monologue from her latest play. She blew me away with her talents.
Later I discovered we shared friends/theatre colleagues in common (Paul Walker) and sheād attended a performance of a musical called āBeautiful Soupā (I wrote the play and lyrics) at a theater Iād founded and ran in downtown Manhattan ā¦ a musical originally developed by and starring ā¦ Paul Walker. And the composer of that show who invited me to be his collaborator was an incredible man named Leslie Steinweiss who years later I asked to write the theme music for this podcast! Antoinette told me how much sheād loved the music/songs in Beautiful Soup before knowing Leslie composed the theme music for this podcast!
I feel weird thanking the pandemic for introducing me to this amazing funny woman whose paths had crossed with mine without my ever knowing.
And now you get to meet her too.
