WHILE YOU LEARN This intimate individualized performance can be conducted in a classroom setting, an auditorium or theater. It can also be part of a larger Inclusive Civil Rights Program. Being a gay son of Holocaust Survivors who became a German citizen becomes the stepping stone to explore deeper issues; while humor softens the impact. Ideally suited for Gay (LGBT), or Jewish or Holocaust related Programs. |

In 1987, while studying for the NYS Bar Exam, I was the lead in a play to raise funds from the Real Estate Community. I was Rupert Dumkowski in a play called, “The Show Business, A Bird’s Eye View”. It played on 42nd Street in the Hyatt Hotel. My secret talent was that I couldn’t dance or sing. I was to sing “strong and wrong”, and try to keep up with the others while dancing.![]() ![]() These photos are from the Dress Rehearsal of the production. I am the short one in the middle. POSTINGS: Benefit Lampoon; Realtybiz By LISA W. FODERARO Published: October 11, 1987 The folks who push the $900-a-month studios and $1,300 one-bedrooms are taking a break this week to help those who get bruised worst by Manhattan's stratospheric housing market - homeless children. In a benefit Wednesday night, some 100 brokers from 35 firms will act, sing, change sets and manipulate the lights in a musical spoof of their own industry. Among the dozen song routines will be ''Commission,'' to the tune of ''Tradition'' from ''Fiddler on the Roof,'' and ''Please Approve Me'' - a plea to co-op boards - to the melody of Paul Simon's ''The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy).'' The brainchild of Susan Willett Bird, president of S. W. Bird & Company, a brokerage, the lampoon will benefit the New York Children's Health Project, itself inspired by Mr. Simon, the song writer. In November, the project, based at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, will begin dispatching a van staffed with doctors to aid ailing children who are homeless or in welfare hotels. The musical, ''The Show Business . . . a Bird's Eye View,'' will skewer everyone from developers and building owners to lawyers and brokers. The black-tie benefit, which includes cocktails and dinner, will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, on East 42d off Lexington Avenue. Tickets are $150 for individual seats and $2,000 for a table of 10. Information and reservations: 351-2400. |
On numerous occasions on cruise ships, or at CBST, I have played the role of Sophia Petrillo. I also grew up knowing the son of Estelle Gettleman Getty who is still a friend. |
