Dancers Over 40 out in
Full Force at
Donna McKechnie Book Signing

Donna and Friends WOW Audience
at Barnes & Noble Book Signing

Donna McKecknie

Another opening, another show - but no, it wasn't really a show - but what a production! Donna McKechnie and her many wonderful friends wowed the SRO crowd at Barnes and Noble Lincoln Center for what was ostensibly a book singing for Donna's autobiography, Time Steps: My Musical Comedy Life, published by Simon and Schuster.

 

The DO40 Crowd makes a splash at the event; l to r, Ken Urmston, President John Sefakis, VP Ronnie Stratton, Treasurer Kathy Seng Gurland and Board Member George Marcy.

Donna not only read from her book, but invited her friends to join her in song throughout the reading. Harvey Evans and Kurt Peterson sang from Follies, Angel Desai, Marta in the new revival of Company sang "Another Hundred People," and Priscilla Lopez, along with Harvey, Kurt and Donna, sang.what else? "What I did for Love." When is the last time you saw a standing ovation at a BOOK SIGNING?!?

”Curtain Call” for the “Cast” of the Donna McKechnie Book Signing! (l ro r) Harvey Evans, Priscilla Lopez, Donna McKechnie and Kurt Peterson. The event was directed by ACL alum Thommie Walsh.

Also seen there, DO40 members Evalin Goodman, Felicia Velasco, Nicole Barth, Ron Young, Paul Berne, all enjoying the performances - and food catered by Dancers over 40!

There were so many people at the event that Barnes and Noble had to put television monitors outside the event room for those not lucky enough to arrive two hours early!

Also in the audience, Bill Hastings and Terri Klausner, Wayne Cilento, Justin Ross, Thommie Walsh, Trish Garland and many, many gypsies from the 70’s and beyond – all of whom should become members of DO40!
