We Need Judith Light Back On Stage

Following the news of the “Other Desert Cities” revival yesterday, I was thinking about Judith Light and how it’s been over a decade since we’ve been privileged enough to see her onstage. Then I went to “Death of a Salesman” again last night and even though Metcalf gives the greatest performance in that role I know I will ever see, I wondered on my way home, how Light would have been in it. Anyways, all this to say she is one of the finest stage actresses of all time and maybe (just maybe) posting this can serve as a sort of “bat signal” for her to come back to a Broadway.  

It looks like she hasn't appeared on stage since she did a production at Pasadena Playhouse in 2017. Considering how often she was doing theater in the early-mid 2010s and how ubiquitous she was at theater events at that time, I wonder if she's pulled back for a reason? 

I've been a fan of Judith Light since the late '70s when she played Karen Wolek on "One Life to Live". I was absolutely riveted to her performance giving testimony at Victoria Lord's (Erika Slezak) trial. 

I also had a huge crush on Marco Dane (Gerald Anthony [Bucciarelli]). Those dark Italian features... swoon.
