Mary Lou Newmark: Street Angel Diaries A Multimedia Work about the Homeless Featuring Robert M. Fisher, Painter, and Gary F. Clark, Photographer www.StreetAngelDiaries.com Newly Released "Music from Street Angel Diaries CD" is available at CD Baby and Amazon. From Philip Brandes, Los Angeles Times: Newmark’s heartfelt central message frames the homeless as flesh and blood manifestations of a broken society, and an uncomfortable mirror that reminds us “we are a lot closer to falling apart than we are willing to admit.” Beyond stating these themes in one actor’s direct address to the audience, their most powerful expression comes not from any text, but through Newmark’s haunting score. Prowling an elevated walkway spanning the front and sides of the Boston Court Main Stage, Newmark strokes modernist musical sketches on her neon-lit electric violin – picture Laurie Anderson on a good hair day, but aiming more at emotions than intellect.
