ANOTHER HILL AND SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN marks Randy's return to the theatre since recovering from a major stroke which occurred 2 years ago.
Randy Johnson (A Night with Janis Joplin - Broadway) has been commissioned by producer Raymond Thompson to adapt for the stage Tim Green's memoir ANOTHER HILL AND SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN.
The inspiring true story of an individual who made the best of the cards dealt to him from his birth, forging ahead the best he could with fortitude, extraordinary internal strength, creativity and optimism, regardless of the current situations he found himself in. ANOTHER HILL AND SOMETIMES A MOUNTAIN marks Randy's return to the theatre since recovering from a major stroke which occurred 2 years ago.
Tim Green's memoir is a remarkable journey through the American landscape of gross psychological mismanagement and prejudice ending in what may be called an emotional triumph. From an abusive and bullied childhood as a gay young man living in the foster care system, to New York City and all it had to offer at the beginning of the aids epidemic, moving to 1980's Los Angeles and surviving the wild disco days leading to a life well lived today as a medical professional, teacher, author, speaker and husband. An epic tale of survival in the best and worst of times. f
Amazon reviews called the book "An important and inspiring American journey"
