ROAD TO MECCA certainly earns John Moore’s positive review, and John Moore certainly deserves the accolade. But I have to correct Mr. Moore about his claim that Mandy Patinkin started Creede Repertory Theatre. He was not in a CRT season until 1971. I directed him in “Sunday in New York” that summer. I was also one of the twelve students who started the Creede Theatre in 1966. I think Mandy would have been 11 years old that year.
Inaccuracies and all, it’s still a nice mention. Maybe we should practice some revisionist history and claim that an 11 year old Mandy founded our theatre. It’s not fair to you, Gary, but it would be a cool elevator story.
