Gordon McConnell. Director of "Pass the Salt, Please." in Miami.

I never had the honor of meeting actor/director Gordon McConnell, who directed my short play, "Pass the Salt, Please.", at City Theatre's Summer Shorts Festival 2009 in Miami this past June. He wrenched his back and was unable to attend the festival the weekend I was there. I finally got an email from him via Facebook:

"nice to hear from you and sorry I missed you. I really enjoyed your play, best of the bunch as far as I'm concerned..."

I would normally ask Gordon's permission to post his quote on my blog, but I didn't feel the need - I mean, why wouldn't any director think the play he directed is the best play of the bunch?? Gordon really did a superb job on the show. Jeff was VERY happy.
