As an eighth-grader, Gaston Azubel Goldstein had a brief but memorable role in our I. Weiner Middle School production of Good News which, I will admit, is in my top five favorite school shows I ever directed. Twenty-five years later, I was delighted to learn that Gaston’s humor, memory, and youthful outlook are still very much intact as he took me through his life and career from the JCC stage to having a daughter who’s a theatre kid. - Recorded on 8/30/25.
