Earthlight Exposed; A Brief Bio

Earthlight Theatre, was the only theatre troupe to perform at Woodstock. Leaving its Mafia store front workshop, they transformed a barn into a theatre in Whitelake, N.Y. The producer Allan Mann having heard the Woodstock Festival had lost its venue hooked up the powers that be to Max Yasgurs farm & with co-founder Jane Richardson brought Swami Satchidanande to the festival. With the money we were paid we bought a bus, did a year of nat'l touring and ended up off Broadway to rave reviews "Brilliant......magnificent simplicity." Hollywood Reporter. I was fortunate to be part of this "metaphysical and transformational theatre." personal history of Woodstock. A. Mann
