David Waldman has been so kind to our Theater Camp 4 Kids Broadway Academy.
We were in a tough spot, because my studio — where we always do my summer camps — is closed because of COVID. There was no place to take the young actors who depend on these camps all summer.
David Waldman and friend.
David offered his beautiful Bedford Square courtyard. He was so kind and generous, and made all the young actors feel at home. (He even brought his new puppy, for the kids to see.)
One day, when rain was predicted, he even put up 2 tents. He wanted us to be outdoors, where it is much safer for children. (When thunder and lightning came, he let us all inside!)
I can’t thank him enough for giving our young actors an opportunity to thrive under our “new normal.” It has not been easy for anyone in the theater industry.
I know downtown is hurting economically. But David never asked for any money. He did this out of the kindness of his heart, and made us feel so welcome.
He saved the day. And he did it with such grace, gentlemanliness, humor and love for the next generation. He really deserves our praise!
This is why I love Westport. David is the kind of person who makes this such a great place!
Broadway Academy, at Bedford Square.
