Anyway.
For those who've inquired about donations in Mom's name, here's the first option. I'll hopefully post info later this week about the second (lots of phone tag going on).
Intentional Theater is a theater company helmed by Miriam Eusebio, Mom's cherished friend and fabulous director of the February 2009 NYC production of Happy Days. The role of Winnie, which of course was to have been played by Mom, will now be played by her dear friend, Asta Hanson. Miriam told me that if Asta couldn't do it, they probably wouldn't have gone on with the production. It means a lot that someone who loved Mom and knew her well will take over the role.
Donations to Intentional Theater will help with production costs and will help secure the rights. As many of you know (and especially Jennifer, who has boxes of his books to prove it), Samuel Beckett was near and incredibly dear to Mom's heart, as was this production. A donation to Intentional is very Janet Ward.
Here's the pertinent donation info from Intentional Theater:

Well of course I am going to go with the theatrical option - I think that all of Janet's theatre friends are absolutely devastated that she is not getting to 'do' Winnie, knowing how huge her desire and appetite for Beckett were.
I think it would be an a magical confluence of Janet if Intentional Theatre could take Happy Days to the Edinburgh Fringe sometime and everybody could come and see it and also go to Mull and if I can do anything to make that sequence of events happen I do hope you all will let me know.
Much, much love, Alison
