Dr. Ropp retired to Jacksonville from academia in 2016, and has been writing her "Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything" blog since 2010. Cyd’s husband, Gary Ropp, passed away in July, one week before rehearsals for “Whorehouse” commenced. For Cyd, this was a bittersweet debut.

I just added the italicized part of the article, between the two pictures. It's about my role in the production.
