Howard: “Dangerous Memories: The True History of the Conquest (1492 The Play) was great fun, from the first reading around my kitchen table to the final bows onstage. I was delighted I could be involved in some writing, singing and performing in this wonderful play. I’ve always hoped it would be redone by pro’s some day. I enjoyed the roles I played, enjoyed creating our sets and costumes. It was an awful chapter in history but we rendered it as farce, a musical. Hopefully, people who saw the play will remember what they learned through this manner of presentation.”
