Melanie Rey - New York
Melanie Rey and Francesca
Mantani
Arkus visited the Audart Gallery during the Spring of 1997. They
presented
a proposal -- to bring live theater to New York's Wall Street district.
Rey
had written "Frenesi", a one-woman play about the adventures and
problems
associated with being a single woman in the city. Within minutes,
Melanie
Rey convinced me, as she picked up her music box, threw back her hair
and
began performing. Rey is a chanteuse; a dancer; a comedienne and
a
very accomplished actress, who had written a play that helped everyone
laugh
more sincerely at life. We often referred to her as
Audart's
sparkling diva, for the energy she brought to Audart and all the people
who
were lucky enough to catch her performances.
