�Award winning actor John Lithgow's new one man show John Lithgow: STORIES BY HEART begins on Sunday (April 20)� at 7pm in the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 W. 65 Street).�� This Lincoln Center Theater production, directed by Jack O'Brien, will be presented on Sunday and Monday nights during the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater run of Paul Rudnick's The New Century for 14 performances only through Monday, June 2.� Opening night for John Lithgow: STORIES BY HEART is Monday, May 12 at 7pm.

John Lithgow: STORIES BY HEART is a touching and funny meditation on the art and essence of storytelling.� Invoking memories of his grandmother and father before him, Lithgow traces his own history as an actor and storyteller, a history spanning three generations, culminating in a tour-de-force performance of the P.G. Wodehouse story Uncle Fred Flits By, in which the actor performs a bravura, forty-minute comic monologue, spouting Wodehouse's dazzling language � portraying nine distinct, outrageous characters with zany abandon.
