It was made possible because Absolute Theater's director Charles E. Drew Jr. said so.
He was a commanding figure. So strong but so delicate, kinda scary but so gentle. When I approached him with the idea, he loved it.
Charles went to LA...& later, back to the sky.

Anyhow, we had that theater piece at Chelsea Playhouse and it was AWESOME.
Later, I approached one of my publishers in Japan...
