Judith Malina - Theatre Rebel

REST IN PEACE TO A RARE THEATRE VISIONARY


It was such an honor to get into the same room as this woman, and even a 'pinch-me moment' when she praised your work. Screw a Tony 'reward', I got a Judith compliment.  Where are our theatrical rebels? I can easily make this into a point about the future of the true theatre vs. the union and commercial theatre, as she was a fighter. But this is not the place. You did well, Judith, you changed the theatre, and you change a small piece of the world for many people.  Whatever world or plain you have shuffled off to, I'm sure you are giving them one Hell of a show tonight. -Lovingly, Brian Stites
