    Dear Ms Chessman,
    My husband and I attended “My Lai” at BAM on Wednesday night. It was a hauntingly beautiful evening. Skip is a Vietnam vet who put out an underground newspaper opposing the war while he was a GI. Is it possible to read your libretto? We didn’t always follow it and would love to know what we missed. Many thanks for your labor of love.

      Hello Liz,
      I am so glad you came to “My Lai” at BAM! Actually, the libretto was in the program. I will email you now, and send this as an attachment. I apologize for not seeing your message until now!
      My best,
      Harriet
