Circus Flora does Tir Na Nog ( Celtic Evening) in St. Louis--directed by NYU professor

My old high school friend Cecil ("Sally") Mackinnon is directing the latest outing of the Circus Flora ( a one ring European style circus) as "an adult oriented dinner theater production" in St. Louis.

She is so busy that communications with her tend to be very brief, she is always rushing off somewhere..

When not with the Circus, (where she continues also to play Yo-yo the Clown--top photo) she teaches here at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in Greenwich Village.

She lives with her husband up the Hudson River a ways...last time we had lunch near NYU was a good long time ago. Maybe we can catch up this Fall.

Cecil/Sally was one of the stars in the thesis film I did for my MFA at New York University....wow, do I wish I still had a print of that ( 16mm, color)....it is amazing how we lose "stuff" along the way we REALLY want when we get older...but that's Life.

Here is updated story on this performance:
