The previous November "On The Way To O'Neill's" was chosen to be the culminating performance on the the "We ARE the people" reading series, presented by the Roy Arias Theatre Center, 300 W. 43rd St. in Manhattan.
The series was a two week-end pre-election marathon. This was our second reading in New York, (see below) both of which followed the initial public reading in Hollywood.
The entire event was a great success, and we felt especially gratified by the comment of Herb Donaldson, Artistic Director of the series: "This piece is beautiful, and I'm grateful that you two have been generous to allow us the reading".

Renowned writer Andrew Greeley has just endorsed On The Way To O’Neill’s: JFK In Ireland . The Author of over 50 bestsellers, Fr. Greeley comments:
"Fascinating play.... I hope it gets performed on Broadway where it belongs!"

In addition, "O'Neill's" was featured on Ten Grand Production's "Cold Cuts Reading Series" in New York City.
This was the second time "O'Neill's" had been read in a major city. (Previously it was at the Actor's Co-op in Hollywood), and it was a marvelous time. Tons of good comments which all point to "O'Neill's" being ready for a full production.
It was inspired by an L.A. weekly review of "Starbucks" in which the reviewer said "Beckett also offers an amazing impression of JFK". With that in hand, we imagined answers to the question "What would have happened if JFK had lived?".
