Musical narrative, after all, isn't a recent discovery championed by Verdi, Jerome Kern, Rodgers & Hammerstein, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. It dates back to King David's psalter, anonymous campfire bards, Orpheus' legendary lyre, and the Homeric Hymns, where the story of Hades and Persephone was originally told. By design, three of the pivotal songs Orpheus sings are grouped as a series of epics. In Blumenthal Performing Arts' Encore playbill, the distance between Anaïs Mitchell, who created the music, lyrics, and script of HADESTOWN, and Rachel Chavkin, who developed and directed Mitchell's creation, is a scant three-and-a-quarter inches. Inside that space are the neatly typeset names of 42 actors, designers, and organizations who have helped bring their vision, the 2019 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, so vividly, raucously, and meaningfully to life.

Alumni Directory. I received a nice note from Henry Erle, MD ’54 (New York, NY), Weill Cornell Medicine Roberts Family Professor Emeritus of Internal Medicine. With his parents and younger brother, he escaped from Nuremberg, Germany, in 1939, where in 1938 his grandfather had been murdered during Kristallnacht. He attended Stuyvesant High School and came to Cornell on a Regents Scholarship.

As you read this column, Dave, PhD ’60, and Mary Gentry Call report that more than 20 classmates have signed on to celebrate our 70th Reunion on campus. Hopefully a few latecomers will join them with a month to go and put us over 26 attendees. Dave and Mary have planned a fun and informative program with easy transportation to and from all the events from our class headquarters at the Statler Hotel. An education in the Cornell College of Home Economics, while including studies in science and the liberal arts, was not designed for advanced degrees. With a mix of exhilarating dance styles, high-energy footwork and breath-taking athleticism, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE tells a unifying and uplifting story of humanity and hope. THE MUSICAL is the winner of 10 Tony Awards®— including Best Musical!
Jone Sampson writes that she and her husband, Sam Weirich, finally retired in 2021 and built a small home in Bedford, WY.

Jone and Sam also love visiting their three daughters, who are scattered across the country in San Francisco, CA, Boulder, CO, and Portland, OR.

Alumni Directory. Yet another creative classmate many of us know is artist Andrea Strongwater (New York, NY).
Fortunately, both of us recovered without any long-term issues. Mark Schimelman writes that he retired 12 years ago and is enjoying the freedom and time with his family. He sadly recalls the passing 12 years ago of Joel Shapiro ’73, his best friend in college (besides his wife, Shelley (Grumet) ’73).

Wheelchair accessAll of our theaters and classrooms are accessible to patrons who use wheelchairs. Most restrooms and water fountains in all facilities are wheelchair accessible, and restrooms are equipped with strobe-light as well as audio alarm systems. A wheelchair accessible "unisex" restroom on the Belk Theater's Grand Tier level accommodates persons who may need assistance from a spouse or companion of the opposite sex. This announcement marks the first post-20/21 season stop for the show. Be sure to follow us to find out when this production will be coming to Charlotte and other cities across North America.
We are so proud of our classmates for all their accomplishments. Best-selling children’s author Michelle Knudsen released her new picture book, Luigi, the Spider Who Wanted to Be a Kitten, on March 5, 2024. It’s illustrated by Kevin Hawkes, who illustrated her book Library Lion, and she is very excited to share it with readers.
