Edward Albee

I met Edward Albee last fall at the Ritz Carlton downtown at the gala benefit for SAGE where he was being honored. After dinner I walked to his table and introduced myself. To my surprise he was totally available to talk:

Steven: "Hello, Mr. Albee. Thank you for being so extraordinary. I'm a gay Mormon playwright."

Edward: "How do you reconcile THAT?"

Steven: (without missing a beat) "I'm an oxy-Mormon."

Edward: (pause) "Very GOOD!"
