1964 Original Cast & Production Members. Anna Maria Alberghetti, Brian Avery, Anita Mann and myself appeared in several companies of West Side Story. This one in 1964 was produced by Nick Mayo and Faye Nuell at the Valley Music Theatre. We decided it would be great fun to have a reunion and that we did! It was held at Cravings Restaurant on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood.

Anita Mann who portrayed "Anybodys" had the WSS photo put on top of this delicious cake. We had to contact so many Gypsies to find our original cast, it was decided to make it Gypsies day as well!

Thank goodness for my two Volunteer Angels at the door that handled the arrival of our guests. My Travel Agent to the stars, Kathy Gregory and upcoming actor Anthony Tringoli. Also thank you to Ibrahim Oztok for organizing the room and our delicious menu.
