A Night to Remember!

Friday’s sneak peek fundraiser of Leave Them Laughing at the College of Marin was truly amazing. 500+ people filled the Fine Arts Theatre, the very place where Carla and her students used to perform their many shows. Lots of laughter echoed through the hall and moments of tears brought total silence as the film took the audience through a collage of scenes that tell Carla’s own glad, sad story in her own voice through diary entries, travelogues, interviews and hilarious and often outrageous skits. The grand finale…..a standing ovation and cheers as Carla and Maclen took to the stage, for what might have been Carla’s very last time. During the Q&A, together with director John Zaritsky and producer Montana Berg, Carla and Mac engaged the audience in a spontaneous interaction that left us all delighted with laughter and wanting for more. Thank you Sandy Handsher, Kathleen Kirkpatrick and the many people at the College of Marin who made this special evening possible. We are most appreciative of everyone’s generous support. This is one night none of us will ever forget!
