“Abbie Hoffman's inspiration was, in a sense, inadvertent. I wanted to do something to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Woodstock at the time, and it just happened that Abbie died the same year. Hoffman was always an inspiration to me, for his activism and execution of that activism, and any of his books will give you a guide and a map to creating almost anything, if you apply it to what it is you want to do.” IfsWantGivingYearsBookInspirationWantedHappenedCreatingDiedGuidesActivismCelebrateMapsExecutionWoodstock Author:Richard Cotovsky
“I had to create a children's show, because we wanted the money - and it was, interestingly enough, the first project at the Angel Island theatre space. We did the show, an adaptation of Grimm's Fairy Tales. It was hardcore Grimm - nothing was sanitized - and it was called 'The Mary-Arrchie Kid's Show.' It was well-received, and so I applied to do it through Urban Gateways in Chicago.” FirstsWellsChildrenEnoughShowsKidsWantedSpaceProjectsAngelTheatreTalesIslandsFairyChicagoFairy TaleMaryUrbanAdaptationHardcoreGatewaysGrimm Author:Richard Cotovsky
