Upon entering Ralph Lee‘s apartment I glanced up at a small loft bed and was greeted by a large mask.
Ralph explained to me it was the used in the first Greenwich Village Halloween Parade in 1974.
In 1976 Ralph Lee became the Artistic Director of the Mettawee River Theatre Company.
In this in-depth interview Ralph traces his early days in college to the present day show at St. John’s The Divine (Opening of Xu Bing’s PHOENIX exhibit)where he shares the bill with aerialist Philippe Petit.
