Excerpt 

Michael left for New York on a break. He and Ben stayed at a tenement building in the East Village on the fourth floor. The bathtub was in a small kitchen, but the fire escape was the best. They stayed at the apartment for four days and did not come out except to eat. It was the apartment of his technical director, and it had a great aura. When Michael left to get back to Dover, he felt as if he just left a spa in the Caribbean.

Coming back to Dover, he now faced another problem. Al was feeding the press a lot of false information. Now the press saying that Michael was going to leave the Music Hall and develop a new theatre company at the University. Michael told the press this was not true, that his loyalty to Dover was solid. Michael knew it was time for it to be over, and he submitted his resignation to the board.

There was no pleading by anyone except the staff for Michael to stay. Michael, the community, and the board knew it was time for him to go. A search committee was formed, and Michael was vice chair of the committee. In the following days, Michael told Ben he could not go with him; it was better that he established his own life. Wade was moving with him; Michael secured an apartment in Park Slope. Ben understood and hugged Michael. Michael knew Ben was an Everyman in all meanings of the word.

The board had a challenging time finding a replacement. All the funding sources turned their backs on them since they did not listen to them years ago. Michael knew leaving Ben behind completed the circle that made the magic of Dover. The day he was leaving, Ben came to the apartment with a boxed lunch and lots of hugs. Michael got into the car and drove off, never looking back. He would always love Ben.
