Randall Stuart is researching eleven generations of his mother's kin,
reaching back to the first several decades of New Amsterdam.

Backstage Left
Within a remarkable theatre space, in a city by a beautiful bay,
a group of theatre artists find their home. 

Backstage Left is an episodic recollection, rich in the history of San Francisco during the years 1974 though 1976.
It shines a refulgent light
 on an artistic apogee for one of the nation's premiere
repertory companies at the time: the American Conservatory Theater. 
Featuring interviews ​with many of the original members of the
theater company & conservatory, author Randall Stuart weaves together memories of a golden epoch from not-so-very-long-ago. 
This collection is equal parts memoir, interrelated essays, 
gazettes, and surprising ghost stories:
a heartfelt ode to an ever-present time & place.
