One day when I was on the hunt for Godspellers, I stumbled upon an address for a Robin Lamont. I wrote to this Robin Lamont, and I got this e-mail from her a few months later! Read on, my fellow Godspell-ites....... Robin's e-mail address has been changed to protect the innocent. To: godspellgirl@broadway.com From: blank@blankity-blank.blank Subject: From Robin Lamont Date: Thu, Feb 22 2001 9:36:37 PM EST Dear Kelly, Sorry to have taken so long wirting back to you -life is incredibly hectic these days. Yes, I AM the Robin Lamont that you are probably looking for, as I was in the original company of Gospell. I don't get much fan mail anymore, but it sure is nice when it comes.I'm glad to hear that you liked the show so much. It was a wonderful experience for all of us! In fact, this May, GIlmer and a few of the others in Los Angeles are organizing a first-time 30th aniversary of the opening of Godspell at the Cherry Lane Theater in 1971. A lot of Godspellers will be there, including Gilmer, Sonia Manzano, Steve Nathan, and a whole bunch of other friends who did the show at different times and in different companies. I'm flying out to LA, and will stay with my best friend, Marley Sims, who was also in the show and did the "Me Nobody Knows" on Broadway. I am no longer in theater - but, believe it or not - am anassistant district attorney in WEstchester County. I enjoy my work a lot -and when I get on trial, it's sort of like doing "living" theater. I'm married and have two great kids and a dog. I can't write too long as I just got the kids to bed and have a hundred things to do to get ready for tomorrow. Please feel free to write to me again, and if you have any questions about the show, I'd be happy to answer them...Talke care, and thanks for getting in touch withme... All the best, Robin (e-mail is blank@blankity-blank.blank) |
