Adrian Bryan-Brown & Joan Marcus Featured on THEATER: ALL THE MOVING PARTS this Friday, December 20  Image

Broadway power couple, publicist Adrian Bryan-Brown and photographer Joan Marcus, are featured in this episode of "THEATER: All the Moving Parts", hosted by Patrick Pacheco. Adrian is a publicist who, with his business partner, Chris Boneau, runs a press office which has been responsible for over 400 award-winning productions. Joan has photographed hundreds of plays and musicals, on Broadway, Off-Broadway and around the world. And they share the distinction of being the first couple to be awarded individual Tony Honors for their contributions. Hear them tell delightful stories about how they respectively do their best work as they try to maintain a sane home life. The show dazzles with Joan's photographs of top plays and musicals, among them "The Ferryman", "The Rose Tattoo", and "Hamilton." i??

Pacheco says, "I was struck by how Adrian described his role as a 'consigliere' to his producers, sharing their passion but also acting as a reality check for what it will take to reach Broadway hit status. Joan often comes into a production at one of the most vulnerable moments in the process, in the final days just before performances begin and nerves are frayed and taut. It calls for patience, a thick skin, and little ego. Some of her best photos won't see the light of day because of actors' fragilities."

"THEATER: All the Moving Parts" is a new CUNY-TV show, featuring in-depth interviews with top theater artists including playwright Theresa Rebeck, musical director Casey Nicholaw, intimacy director Claire Warden and choreographer Sergio Trujillo. Of Pacheco, Rebeck said, "I felt like I was being interviewed by someone who knows me better than I know myself." Go to THEATER: All the Moving Parts to see these and other episodes.
