Roderick Russell in Hartford Magazine
September 15th, 2008 by admin
I’m extremely flattered to find that what was supposed to be a mere sidebar appearance in this month’s issue of Hartford Magazine has in fact blossomed into a full two-page spread, complete with a stunning photograph by Eric Tetreault!
The article – titled Performer Roderick Russell knows how to attract attention - is a question and answer format interview and, though there were some liberties taken in transcribing the very long phone conversation – necessitated by space no doubt – the overall fidelity is quite good and the article does indeed represent me well. Many thanks go to the author, Mara Dresner, for not only doing such a great job, but for allowing me to take up so much space in the magazine!
Of great surprise is the This month’s 10 best bets article - a listing of the best things to do in Connecticut - also found in the publication. The event at which I’ll be appearing is listed at – gasp – number one! Ahead even of Pilobolus, SPAMALOT and, get this, Joshua Bell!!! Now, I know that people enjoy my work – for which I’m extremely grateful – but Joshua Bell should not be listed at number ten! At least move him to number two.
