Our friend Howard Jerome Gomberg improvises “The Unfinished Song.” It’s an improv anthem… totally different each time it is sung!

David Shepherd, my friend and co-founder of Life-Play, turns 85 today. An improv celebration began early this morning in Belchertown—David’s marathon birthday wish for 24/7 improv and play. I can only hope that I’m half as playful when I’m David’s age!
David, it’s been wonderful to get to know you over the past eighteen months and become close friends. I’ve learned immensely from your creative instincts and your honest play. Thank you for sharing lessons from a your lifetime of play.
May your birthday wishes come true! May Life-Play be shared with the wider world and grow with evolving adventures. This morning, testing a new adventure with you, called Dream, I was reminded of a book I read I as a child, Grandfather Twilight.
You’re the theatrical grandfather I never had.
Thank you, David!
Happy Birthday!
Please join us at Life-Play in wishing David a Happy Birthday and check back for updates of the playful Birthday festivities!

There’s a wonderful documentary on the founding of the Compass cabaret currently in production. I look forward to seeing the whole film but for now you can enjoy a preview featuring David Shepherd and Mark Siska. Mark is the director and producer.
