I never though of entailers of any kind, never had the dream and never been around people who did. This book on growing up around the theater is amazing. The life she lived was nothing like the school plays I took part in. It's amazing to hear of a person who grew up in it and how things work. Ending it on how the neighbors cheered her on in such a way was touching and exactly the kind of energy I remember from my art classes. I never heard of Donna Florio but I would be very interested in reading more of this book.
