MEETING THE CAST OF “THE EXONERATED”

 

NEW YORK — Sri Chinmoy and about 200 of his students were guests of honor March 25 at the 200th performance of the off-Broadway hit “The Exonerated,” for which Harit Allan Buchman is lead producer.

Afterwards, Sri Chinmoy met and lifted several current and previous cast members — including Brooke Shields, Robert Vaughn, Jill Clayburgh and Montel Williams — and other celebrities who had come for the occasion, as well as five of the former death row inmates who had been portrayed in the play.

The program included a song Sri Chinmoy had written about the exonerated prisoners, as well as a short esraj concert by Sri Chinmoy.
