The New York Times has published a feature story about stage actress Catherine Russell, who was the subject of a film produced during a MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop.

The Times story, How Catherine Russell, of ‘Perfect Crime,’ Spends Her Sundays, recounts how Russell hasn’t missed a performance of her off-Broadway show in 37 years.

In 2012, Russell was the subject of the film A Hundred Different Ways, which was produced during a MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop.

In the film, Russell recounts how in her 25 years playing Margaret Thorne Brent in the play Perfect Crime, she had only missed four performances.

She hasn’t missed another since then, according to the Times story.

Russell is now celebrating 15,000 performances of Perfect Crime, which premiered in 1987 and is New York City’s longest-running play.

Patrick Robustelli, Russell’s husband, was also featured in MediaStorm’s film. We we’re deeply saddened to learn from Times story that he passed away in 2019.

A Hundred Different Ways was produced during the MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop, where participants work alongside MediaStorm staff to create an intimate, character-driven documentary in just one week.
