Just Passing by
Autor Beverly Nobleen Limba Engleză Paperback
"Just Passing By" is a breezy adventure through theatre and Greenwich Village in the 1940s and 1950s, providing "rare footage" from that memorable time. It begins at Catholic University's theatre program and its powerhouse staff, which included Father Hartke, Walter Kerr, and the renowned director Alan Schneider. The author knew them all.
She experienced Greenwich Village in the era of the Beat Generation, the Village Voice, jazz clubs, and sandals. As a member of the Circle-in-the-Square theatre, she was behind-the-scenes with Jose Quintero, Ted Mann, the actor Jason Wingreen, and many others.
She knew Gregory Corso (who stayed at her Village apartment when he was temporarily broke), listened to Dylan Thomas at the White Horse Tavern, and posed for Andy Warhol (whom she double-dated at Carnegie Tech).
"You will also discover... "
How a pair of slacks mobilized the entire Carnegie Tech Drama Department against the Dean of Women. Who the best fighter was in a massive brawl at the White Horse Tavern: Gregory Corso, a philosophy professor, or her date. Why the Circle-in-the-Square was originally lined with mirrors, and the nature of the scenes etched upon them. "
