The end of an era

Stage Talk

Sandy Harper

In the summer of 1987 Sandy Harper and her husband Jerry opened Cyrano’s, a bookstore and cafe located at D Street and 4th Avenue in downtown Anchorage. In 1992, it expanded to include a theatre: “Cyrano’s Off Center Playhouse“, which became the home of Cyrano’s Theatre Company. Over the next 24 years, Cyrano’s presented, on average, one play a month. With the passing of Jerry in 2005, Sandy took over as Producing Artistic Director until last year when she handed the reins over to Teresa Pond. This past summer, the Board of Directors made the decision to move the company to the former Out North Contemporary Art House located on Debarr. With this move, we see the “end of an era” for the space on 4th and D and Sandy has decided to hold a celebration on Saturday, September 9th starting at noon and going for as long as people want to stay. Sandy is asking for people to bring stories and memories to share. Join Sandy today on Stage Talk to hear more about this remarkable adventure.
