Peter Pan at 70 Reviewed by 30-year-old!

Those of us in the discussion group following Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday liked the play a lot more than the reviewer had, and someone suggested that the reviewer might have been younger.

I thought the reviewer was Robert Hurwitt, not so young, I thought, so I looked up his age, and even though I didn't find that, I saw that he was playing in the Mime Troupe's Miser in 1966!  That would indicate that his age was more advanced than even mine.

I also found out that he had retired!

Taking his place is Lily Janiak, and she is thirty-years-old!

Thirty!  That explains a lot!

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
