ON THE COVER
This close-up shows just one section of a multimedia recreation in 1:12 scale of Stephen Sondheim’s ’Sunday in the Park with George.’ The brainchild of our good friend Michael Puff’s fertile mind, the scene replicates the climax of the play’s Act I. Michael and doll artist Kay Shipp collaborated with many other talented artisans to make this colorful feast for the eyes. See more proof that many talented hands make for great work starting on page 46.
