Confessions Of An Actress: Sunday Letters From Moscow

In the winter of 2002, Chechen terrorists entered the Dubrovka Theater in what became known as the Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis, one of the biggest terrorist attacks in Russian history. Chechen rebels would storm the stage of NORD OST and take the audience captive in an operation that lasted 4 days and claimed the lives of over 100 civilians. On that same night, at age 26, Broadway Star, Meredith Patterson was less than 1 mile away at the MDM Theater, starring as Peggy Sawyer in what was hailed the "Groundbreaking American Production of the musical 42nd STREET". On this very night, Russia's former President, Boris Yeltsin, was in attendance. Sunday Letters From Moscow chronicles Meredith Patterson's time in Russia leading the American cast of the musical 42nd STREET. Every Sunday she sent family and close friends letters narrating her life experiences.
