Media appearances

Reader Ruth Palileo sent us this great tip.

Lifeline Theatre in Chicago, who produced Lizard Music in 1992, made a tiny clip from the show available on Youtube this week. They are doing trips down memory lane because COVID has shut the theatre down.

Daniel is appearing on the latest episode of Conversations with My Dummy, hosted by Steve Charney.
