Hank Fandel is an actor, writer, improviser, vagabond. I would like to express special and infinite gratitude to Ellen Barber for her invaluable direction, guidance, consultation, encouragement, and support. And to Gene Santarelli and AND Theater Co.’s ‘Anything Goes’ ongoing workshop. And to Beth Baur at the New Jersey School of Dramatic Arts who provided what was needed when the idea was most fragile. The ‘outside’ can spawn an idea, which can live ‘inside’, but nothing can live ‘outside’ without others.
