“What is essential to life is invisible to the eye.” Fred Rogers I caught this random line from the late Fred Rogers during a rebroadcast of the PBS documentary on his amazing life on Sunday, and it struck me as so important as we turn the page and head down the home stretch of this unusual …
We did our play “Lombardi” 11 years ago at Circle in the Square theater, one of the characters who people learned the most from was Marie Lombardi, Vince’s wife, played by the great Judith Light. Marie gave fans an insight into the persona of the Hall of Fame coach that few knew about, and it …
