SMALL FISH May 2016 Workshop
Joy resounded in New York City throughout the month of May when La Pulcina Piccola returned to the stage in the workshop presentation of SMALL FISH. Ardent pilgrims traveled from afar to the 13th Street Theatre to celebrate the glory that is Pulcina. To her avid admirers who ask, "When can we see this opus again?" we can only reply, "Time will tell." Meanwhile, we have many to wonderful people to thank.

RARE PHOTO DISCOVERED
La Pulcina Piccola in the Holy Land
Our beloved La Pulcina Piccola is pictured here standing on the ramparts of the ancient city of Jerusalem. Discovered in the stall of a hospitable Bedouin merchant by Scholar-in-residence Susan J. Vitucci, this undated photograph is the first known documentary evidence of La Pulcina's travels in the Holy Land. Ms. Vitucci spotted the extraordinary artifact tucked in a bin of papers while chatting with the vendor and sipping delicious mint tea. Ms. Vitucci purchased several minor baubles from the charming vendor. Pleased with the transaction, he included the photograph with the lot. We are beyond thrilled to share the image with our Pulcinisti.
