\u00a0As recalled by stage and screen legend Carole Cook, \u201cWe called it \u2018the plague\u2019.\u00a0 They called it \u2018the gay disease\u2019.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t even a name.\u201d\u00a0 The time was 1984.\u00a0 We would come to know the disease as AIDS.\u00a0 But in 1984, all anyone knew was that gay men were becoming ill and sadly, dying.\u00a0 What Michael Kerns and James Carroll knew was that someone had to do something to help ease the suffering and with that Southland Theatre Artists Goodwill Event <\/strong>was born.\u00a0 Calling on former Dramalogue scribe and theatre director David Galligan, the group began what is now a 30 year tradition of putting on a benefit with proceeds to benefit those afflicted with AIDS and their families in the Southern California area.\u00a0 Carole Cook, now in her 28th year of performing in the S.T.A.G.E.<\/strong> event, recalls the journey vividly.<\/p>\n

\"stage<\/p>\n

\u201cWe charged,\u00a0 I swear to God,\u00a0 ten bucks and we\u2019d say, \u2018Could you come to this show we\u2019re doing?\u2019\u00a0 And people would say, \u2018What\u2019s it for?\u2019.\u00a0 We\u2019d tell them.\u00a0 Most people didn\u2019t even know what we were talking about.\u201d\u00a0 So grass roots were the early years that \u201cwe brought our own coffee.\u00a0 We cleaned the bathrooms ourselves.\u00a0 The performers cleaned the bathrooms. . .We sold the programs.\u00a0 I don\u2019t even think we had programs to start.\u00a0 We did our own hair and make-up.\u00a0 There were no frills at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choosing a different theme each year, typically showcasing composers such as Leonard Bernstein, the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Lerner and Loewe, S.T.A.G.E.<\/strong> called on the best and the brightest talents in stage and screen to bring the production to life.\u00a0\u00a0 After a few years, behind the scenes artisans started to volunteer their time and talent for the event.\u00a0 One of the first was Russell Smith, Carole Cook\u2019s hairdresser for 42nd Street<\/em>.\u00a0 \u201cHe was a terrific guy.\u00a0 He later on got AIDS and died of AIDS.\u00a0 But he said to me one day, he was being a smart ass, he said, \u2018Carole, I\u2019ve seen the show.\u00a0 You women need help with your hair.\u00a0 You are beauty violations. [laughing] So, I\u2019ll volunteer.\u2019\u00a0 And he brought 3 or 4 friends.\u00a0 Then somebody started with the make-up.\u00a0 Then somebody started with costumes and gradually it became bigger and bigger but it started out so small.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"stage<\/p>\n

Small was an understatement.\u00a0 But even as AIDS became a global issue and legends like Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John created organizations and raised millions of dollars, S.T.A.G.E.<\/strong> kept plugging away to service the \u201cmen, women and children\u201d affected by AIDS in Southern California.\u00a0 As Cook reflects, in the early days, \u201cWe\u2019d pay their rent.\u00a0 At that time there was no support group.\u00a0 There was nowhere to go to get any help.\u00a0 About 25 of us went in together, we formed our own little thing, and I remember so clearly, we would get the names of people as things happened, we would all of us – my husband, myself and everyone of them – would put money in a pot and as people began to be ill, we pooled our money once a month.\u00a0 Everybody put in \u201cX\u201d amount of money and we paid for their rent, we paid for their animals, and got them food when they needed food.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 She is quick to note, however, that it\u2019s because of foundations like AMFAR that much needed research dollars flooded in.\u00a0 \u201cBecause of the research, that\u2019s why people live longer today than they did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"TCM<\/p>\n

Joining in the festivities this year is TCM host and movie historian Robert Osborne.\u00a0 With a theme of S.T.A.G.E. Goes to the Movies<\/strong><\/a>, there is no one more perfect to host the May 10th event.\u00a0 According to Osborne, \u201cDavid Galligan has been a great friend of mine for years and I\u2019ve really enjoyed the idea – the fact that he\u2019s put these shows together for 30 years. . . David is such a creative director.\u00a0 He\u2019s got such great ideas and he\u2019s really good at what he does. . .So when he some time ago said, \u2018Look, we\u2019re gonna have our 30th anniversary and we\u2019re doing stuff about movies, this would be a great one to come and do.\u2019\u00a0 I thought, well, I\u2019ve got to go out and do it no matter what. . . I\u2019m very pleased to be invited and pleased to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Osborne, not only is the benefit for a good cause, \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be great fun.\u201d\u00a0 And for him part of that fun is shining a light on some huge talents who may be forgotten or may not have a chance to shine as much in their golden years, much like TCM does.\u00a0 \u201c[S.T.A.G.E. Goes to the Movies<\/strong>] has got some wonderfully talented people.\u00a0 For me it\u2019s always kind of heartbreaking, the fact that you go and you see these great people with these great voices and you realize that we just don\u2019t have a theater or a show business thing for most of them to be able to exercise that talent.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have a Broadway anymore that will use these people or we don\u2019t have a vaudeville circuit or we don\u2019t have cabaret shows like we used to or radio, things like that where people who sang wonderfully could sing all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

And talk about a line-up! In addition to Osborne and Cook, Rona Barrett, Debby Boone, Betty Buckley, Jason Gould, Mary Jo Catlett, Jimmy Darren, David Engel, Lainie Kazan, Pat Marshall, Donna McKechnie, Helen Reddy, Rex Reed and Patricia Morison are just a few of the legends who will be appearing.<\/p>\n

As part of his hosting duties, Osborne is \u201cgonna come out and talk a little about movie music because that\u2019s what this is about, and introduce various people and try to tell some stories that are relevant to all of that.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be introducing Rona Barrett and I want to talk about her a bit and how important she was to the reporting about Hollywood at that time.\u00a0 So much of this is about an era that doesn\u2019t exist anymore.\u00a0 Some people, I think, maybe don\u2019t have a great reference on Mitzi Gaynor and\/or Donna McKechnie and all that.\u00a0 People have short memories.\u00a0 And Pat Marshall who was in one of my all-time favorite musicals Good News<\/em>, and she was terrific in it, she had come from Broadway.\u00a0 That was the only movie she made and then she married Larry Gelbart, the great writer, and retired.\u00a0 But she was a great Broadway name, a great Broadway discovery in the 40’s.\u00a0 So to have her around [is terrific].\u00a0 Also, Jason Gould.\u00a0 I saw him with his mother when Barbra Streisand did her big return to Brooklyn last year.\u00a0 He was sensational!\u00a0 He\u2019s a great singer.\u00a0 I\u2019m just jumping in on some of those people to introduce them.”<\/p>\n

\"stage<\/p>\n

Jimmy Darren, who has appeared with Carole Cook at S.T.A.G.E.<\/strong> benefits in the San Francisco area is excited to be joining the troupe this year in Los Angeles.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ll be singing two songs from Gidget<\/em>\u201d while film clips play behind his performance.\u00a0 Rona Barrett is making her first appearance with S.T.A.G.E. <\/strong>presenting a cavalcade of movie costumes.\u00a0 Returning S.T.A.G.E.<\/strong> veteran Mary Jo Catlett will also be singing, this time a Doris Day song and playing a \u201cmagician\u2019s assistant.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Carole Cook will be taking us back in time as clips from her performances in films like The Incredible Mr. Limpett, American Gigolo<\/em> and Sixteen Candles<\/em> play on a screen while she \u201ctalks about when I was a kid.\u00a0 I\u2019ll tell those stories.\u00a0 But I\u2019m gonna talk about the funny things that happened with me watching movies when I was a kid.\u00a0 I just thought that I could walk up on the screen and go INTO the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t think for a minute that Robert Osborne isn\u2019t excited for some of the performers this year starting with \u201cRichard Chamberlain.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s going to be fun to have him there.\u00a0 He\u2019s always been singing.\u00a0 He did, certainly,\u00a0 My Fair Lady<\/em>\u00a0 on Broadway.\u00a0 Who else?\u00a0 I love Mary Jo Catlett.\u00a0 I love David Engel; whatever he does, he\u2019s just so talented.\u00a0 I am a big fan of Lainie Kazan and also Donna McKechnie is part of it.\u201d\u00a0 Rumor has it that McKechnie will be dancing with Fred Astaire.\u00a0 But the one performer Osborne is most excited to see?\u00a0 \u201cPatricia Morison who is like 95 or 96 now.\u00a0 She looks fabulous.\u00a0 Still sings wonderfully.\u00a0 And the fact that she is the original star of Kiss Me Kate on Broadway and then made a lot of movies in the 30’s, and the fact she\u2019s still out there doing it, the fact she wants to do it, still does it well,\u00a0 I think that\u2019s really exciting because we\u2019re really losing, as you know, so many people from that really grand era.\u00a0 And they\u2019re unlike anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"stage<\/p>\n

Despite all the anticipated fun, frolic and entertainment, we can\u2019t forget the cause that is bringing all these people together, volunteering their time and talent – raising critical funds for AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA).<\/p>\n

Still fresh in her memory like it was yesterday, Cook recalls one of the performers with her in 42nd Street<\/em>.\u00a0 \u201cThe first time one of the kids got sick and, as a matter of fact he was a kid who came from money, his\u00a0 mother and father disowned him.\u00a0 I remember thinking, \u2018My gosh.\u00a0 I\u2019ll probably never know another person with this disease\u2019 because I thought it was so rare.\u00a0 Well, after that, it went downhill.\u00a0 We lost a whole generation of people in the arts – dancing, singing, writing – we lost a generation of multi-talented people. . . Many of them died.\u00a0 And then, when somebody died, their partner usually got sick and died, too.\u00a0 There were couples wiped out.\u00a0 That seemed to make it so much worse.\u00a0 One of the partners would be well for awhile and take care of the other one and then he\u2019d get sick.\u00a0 It was just a terrible time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u00a0 know everybody has their charities so kind of what I call \u2018AIDS fatigue\u2019 has set in because people go on to – and I hate to say it – but other diseases.\u00a0 But AIDS is rampant now.\u00a0 We just think of here.\u00a0 It\u2019s rampant all over the world.\u00a0 Africa is decimated. . . .Families are wiped out.\u00a0 Children, little children.\u00a0 So the more we do, the more it\u2019s helpful for the world. . .You can\u2019t be complacent.\u201d<\/p>\n
