RECOGNIZING MAGGIE MANCINELLI-CAHILL
(Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tremendous
contributions of Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill, Producing Artistic Director
of the Capital Repertory Theatre, as she retires from her storied
career bringing the joy of live theater to patrons across the capital
region and beyond.
Since 1995, Maggie has directed more than 125 productions, workshops,
and readings, helping to cement the repertory as a treasured
cornerstone of both the city of Albany and the wider theater community.
The warmth of her personality would always shine through as she
enthusiastically welcomed audiences at the start of so many shows.
Throughout her three decades at the repertory, Maggie nurtured local
artists and performers, while sharing her own illustrious talents and
creativity with a grateful audience.
Countless local organizations have recognized Maggie's abundance of
vision, resilience, and, yes, optimism. While the curtain is closing on
this act of Maggie's brilliant career, I know her theatrical artistry
will continue to inspire our community for years to come.
Bravo, Maggie, bravo. Congratulations.
