Very pleased to announce that Chris O’Brien has just joined Diane Cheklich and me in the Under the Poppy theatrical endeavor. Chris comes to us trailing clouds of directorial glory from (among many others) his passionate production of Cabaret, as well as bearing an eye for beauty and detail both lush and meticulous, so we’re thrilled. Diane, of course, is the award-winning director of both features and shorts (and ultra-shorts, like the Under the Poppy trailer).  And I’m your black-clad narrator. . . We’re looking forward to telling our story to you. [Cabaret photo by Frank Weir.]
