Summary
Eighty-five-year-old Sandy Harper, co-founder of Alaska’s beloved Cyrano’s Off Center Playhouse, shares the theater’s vibrant legacy in her newly released book, “The Little Theatre that Could and Did.” Motivated by her late husband Jerry’s pioneering spirit, Harper chronicles three acts: their lives before Alaska, Cyrano’s explosive rise from a cafe-bookstore into a cultural hub, and the birth of the theater company. With over 300 pages of vivid production histories, local and global playwrights’ insights, and even a recipe from “Dinner With Friends,” the book celebrates Alaska’s artistic soul. Self-published after five years of meticulous research, it’s a heartfelt tribute to passion over profit—and proof that art thrives even in tough times. Cyrano’s, now relocated but still thriving, remains Alaska’s beating cultural heart. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
