    La Cieca! Never caught you in a copy editing error in all my years of reading the glorious Parterre Box (and happy birthday!). The soap is GUIDING LIGHT, not THE GUIDING LIGHT. Glad Daniels loves it, though … and glad La Marc loves Price as much as she does.

    PS: Have you heard about Cornelia Goetz, Queen of the Night at Lyric now? She’s incredible, especially at the spoken dialogue. Tiny woman with sick accuracy, and some great baby chest tones.
