HISTORY: Having been recommended to Rafael by Clare, fellow CCC
chorus member Mike Sherman and I became parents in the opening scene
of this classic ballet. My wife in this production was Kim Husband.
I had done no ballet prior to this show, but I did so well that
I was later asked to reprise the same role in the following year's
production, which I also did with Mike.
