On September 8, we open "Brighton Beach Memoirs," Neil Simon's award-winning story of an American family in hardscrabble Brooklyn in the 1930s.

I am so proud of all of the kids I watched on stage and off. They have given their heart and soul for a few extraordinary hours of entertainment a night. I know my life is infinitely better for the opportunity to join in on the fun.
