New version of Ana (with Dorothy Dix) goes over great!

A really good audience and, it seems, a really good way for Ana Fortier to talk about Elisee Reclue, Oak Alley, Antoine the slave, the righteous demands of the streetcar workers' strike in New Orleans, 1929 ... and, yes, a little about anarchy as she understands it.

Such a fine experience for me, the playwright, but I really think it was a good experience for all who came.  A good audience, a good beginning to the Seguin artsFest, ... the first time there was a theatre component, but surely not the last.

I am grateful to all who attended, to Keith Giles who gave us the use of the wheelchair accessible Aumont Hotel lobby, to the organizers of the Seguin artsFest for accepting Ana's Key to Anarchy (even if its title might off-put), to Carol Hirschi and Griffin, ...

and it was lovely, lovely.
