We’ve posted in the past both here and on Facebook/Twitter about “Still Dreaming,” Hank Rogerson and Jilann Spitzmiller’s excellent documentary about a group of older Broadway actors, musicians, and dancers who live at the Lillian Booth Actors Home just outside NYC and who bravely dive into a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Watching their story unfold, with all of its challenges, disappointments, and triumphs, is riveting. Here’s the trailer for the film, and you can learn more at the website. Also, here’s an interesting and entertaining interview Jilann did for the NEA’s Art Works podcast. You can find or request a screening of the film here. If you have a chance to see it, please do! And, finally, to get a taste of what you’ll see, be sure to watch this video, a profoundly moving rendition of the Rodgers and Hammerstein song, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” performed by Charlotte Fairchild and accompanied by Joan Stein.
