It was quite a shock to meet someone who was so similar to my mother because she isn’t exactly your average pumpkin. Cass was my mother, only a bit younger, blonde and exotically dramatic as she had studied theater in college - and promptly moved to Manhattan to chase that dream.
She worked in and around Broadway for many years, including getting into the production game and education...
