The quality of my work has been highly appreciated in the press over the years both in Chicago and around the country, and I have a thick folder of reviews to prove it. The audiences have continued to support Light Opera Works for nearly 20 years because of the spirited, colorful, well-choreographed, and artistically satisfying productions that have been the hallmark of my work at the company. In particular, the artists who have worked with me understand the kind of quality that has permeated LOW and kept a steady number of their ranks returning to work with us. The subscriber base at LOW has been amazingly consistent over the years due to the fact the audience enjoys the productions! My fund-raising abilities at the company were enhanced by the appreciation of our patrons for my work.
I think the perceived hobbling of my productions with the clumsiness Mr. Lazare referred to was more a function of production management and technical direction at the company, positions I had virtually no influence on hiring or controlling and whose personnel consistently changed.
