I have many memories of Don Bianchi.  I worked at the Actors Company (CWRU's 
professional summer reportory theater) from 1982 to 1985.  That was a great 
group of Playhouse actors and directors and others such as Michael Regnier.  It 
was run by Ken Albers, now in Oregon.
   Anyway, Don Bianchi would always come to the shows (some of the most 
interesting theater in Cleveland at the time, now rarely done by the more 
conservative companies in town...) and give wonderful, spontaneous reviews afterwards 
in the Eldred Theater lobby afterwards and/or later at The Mad Greek 
restaurant.  These weren't formal speeches, just off-the-cuff but terrific capsule 
reactions that were usually "spot on the money" and showed his vast knowledge of 
theater and art in general.
   Great, GREAT guy which Cleveland needs more of these days!!
