For me, one of the standout productions was at the Forestburgh Playhouse, which presented the ‘60s  tribal love-rock musical “HAIR “last summer to sold-out crowds.

It wasn’t my first “Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon,” but helping others raise money to beat childhood cancer never gets old.
