Tomorrow morning there's a special guest at the Church of Monika at Open Source Gallery. Cezar Del Valle is coming at 11AM to talk about his new book, "Brooklyn Theatre Index, Volume III," about the history of theatre in Coney Island. I am a total theatre history geek in general, but I'm particularly interested in Coney Island because of Eddie Cantor, Chico Marx and Louis Roth. Roth was married to (and trained) Mabel Stark- they're both in my play "The Tiger Play." He learned to train big cats while working for a wild animal show in Coney Island, ca. 1900.
Open Source Gallery is at 306 17th Street, near the corner of Sixth Avenue.
