Grateful to be with Crescent City, even if only on the Zoom. In playing Lear in this time of grown men baby leaders, Bernard quotes TS Eliot from his Four Quartets; “do not let me hear of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly. Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession, of belonging to another, or to others or to God. the only wisdom we can hope to acquire is the wisdom of humility; humility is endless." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5584b34579922cd419592e/1601410674212-R27CPTS6K5AINQAYUMC6/Lear+JM+HS+%282%29.jpg King Lear Cast JANA MESTECKY (Goneril) is a Founding Company Member of Crescent City Stage.
