SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMEN! LOL!
Have a nice weekend, maybe you will get out on this 1 and see the SUN!
Steve,
It was such a treat to see you and Jim perform at the Actor's Temple benefit this past Sunday.
I want to thank you for the great conversation at dinner and the words of advice for my daughter in her quest to join the great Broadway community. I very much value what you had to say around work ethic and keeping up with lessons and making contacts.
Thank you so very much, and I do sincerely hope that our paths cross again.
Until then, all the best.
