Paul McCartney was here and ...
he was truly great. He said for one song, "Sing with me, this one's for John," and 250,000+ sang, again and again, "All we are saying is Give Peace a Chance." It was amazing. And it was free!

Back to the website?
Since I'm still in Quebec City without good access to a computer whereon I can put site-building software — but where I get to see Paul McCartney free, with 200,000 other celebrants of the 400th anniversary of Quebec, July 20 — we're expecting a more normal and certainly more complete website soon. In any case, to go back to the website, click here: http://www.meyouandeli.com/.

How to read the scripts for both Fringe 2008 plays
Scripts for both Me,You & Eli productions in Fringe 2008, as well as our Fringe 2005 production, Pierrot le Quin, and many other plays by Sylvia Manning (SilviCol) are at Celtx Project Central. The play about Frederick is on Celtx with the working title of A Christmas Eve`s Visit with Frederick Demuth.
The links are in the right column of this page. If for any reason the link doesn`t work, enter Celtx Project Central in the Google search box, then Silvicol in the search box on the Celtx page, and you will be directed to a list of plays.
"I really like Celtx, a Canadian free collaborative website. If you write plays and need software for formatting, I really urge you to download the free Celtx before you spend money on something that`s no better. Actually, all members of any production can benefit by using the collaborative features of Celtx." -- Sylvia M. SilviCol

Note from Sylvia SilviCol, the cast so far for Lucila
Hello. I write from Quebec City, the University of Laval, where I`m doing a long-term stay (sejour longue), meaning I have a very comfortable room with telephone and shower (or even a bath!) and all is beautiful as always here in the civilized city. Yesterday Quebec celebrated 400 years of history. Imagine? And still civilized, still kindly, still gracious, still a city where the bus drivers kindly correct the manners of the young, if need be.
So if need be I apologize for going so long without posting anything (and worse for the website itself) but it`s mainly because I was first in a cabin in the woods without electricity, in northern Vermont, and since coming here I`d been unable to find a computer to use because all was closed for the weekend and early week celebration of the 400th anniversary of Quebec.
But here we are, with Joe`s note below. He also sent a list of the cast so far, and I`m very, very pleased to see that he himself will play Don Baldomero. Here`s the list:
Inma Heredia (The Queen of Truth)
Annalisa Derr (Lucila)
Elena Araoz (Emmelina)
Elizabeth Acosta (Pepita)
Laura Gaspari (Adelaida)
Joseph Franchini (Baldomero)
And by the way, to read either of the plays chosen for this year`s FringeNYC festival, go to Celtx Project Central with http://pc.celtx.com, then put the name SilviCol in the search box. A thumbnail feature sketch comes up -- the picture is me at 11 in Central Park -- and then if you click there you`ll have a list of plays. The play for Frederick Demuth is called A Christmas Eve`s Visit ... on Celtx, and the play for Gabriela Mistral is called Lucila`s Story.... Once you have the play come up, click for the stageplay. There. That`s simple, right?
By the way, the play Me, You & Eli produced for the 2005 NYC Fringe Festival, Pierrot le Quin, is there, too, along with two other Maupassant adaptations. The idea was to have the three produced together as a full evening with Maupassant, a wonderful story teller.
Celtx, by the way, is free to use for playwrights and screenwriters and anybody working collaboratively. It`s a great way to go, in my opinion. It`s Canadian. No W`s.
