lillibet has directed with and several of my friends have acted with. This book is about them as a group, their history and the history of community theater in America, and particularly about the experience of their putting on M. Butterfly in 1998.

I found myself awed, in reading it, to realize that I'm a part of that; that here she is describing this mad and magical experience, and I'm lucky enough to live it.
