"West Side Story" Dancer speaking locally

Tony Award-nominated dancer/choreographer Donald McKayle, who
performed in the original production of "West Side Story,''
will discuss dance and his career on Monday at 7 p.m. in the
new Frances Daly Fergusson Dance Theater of Kenyon Hall at
Vassar College.

McKayle appeared in a number of Broadway productions and
choreographed dance sequences for film and television,
including "The Bill Cosby Special,'' "The Motown Special,''
"The Great White Hope,'' "Bedknobs and Broomsticks,'' "The
49th Annual Academy Awards'' and "The Jazz Singer.'' He
directed the first few episodes of "Good Times'' in 1974.
Part of McKayle's weeklong residency at the college, the
talk is free and open to the public.
