Every other Monday we'll be posting the newest byte in our walk through Hudson Heights, my neighborhood in Upstate Manhattan, the stretch on the western ridge between the GW Bridge and the Cloisters. This is the fifth installment, a more personal byte, which deals with my dry cleaner and the baristas in my apartment. Enjoy!
This byte was directed by Marc Wolf (who has appeared in several of the Little Byte videos). Berda Gilmore played the barista, Susan Burns played the pub crawler, and Jessica, my dry cleaner, appeared as herself.
Susan Burns is a comic and a founding member of the Seaside Shakespeare Festival in Nantucket.
Berda Gilmore recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City where she worked and studied as an actress. Berda is having such a good time on the West Coast that she has been chronicling her adventures on her hugely popular website www.berdagilmore.com.
Marc Wolf recently performed the world premiere of his new solo-show The Road Home: Re-Membering America at Huntington Theatre and Geva Theatre, directed by David Schweizer. He received an OBIE and was nominated for the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for his brilliant Off-Broadway performance of Another American: Asking and Telling at The New Group, directed by Joe Mantello. www.marcwolf.com
