Shop Talk Features Discussions with Theatre People, Beginning Feb. 13
By: BWW News Desk Jan. 27, 2006
The connecting theme is that all have a history of working with either Lynne Thigpen or Bobo Lewis, two of Broadway's most loved actresses, both of whom were devoted to New York City and the theatre community. Lynne Thigpen won a Tony Award for her performance in Wendy Wasserstein's An American Daughter and was nominated for a Tony for her performance in the musical Tintypes (for which Mel Marvin was the musical conductor). Bobo Lewis' career spanned over 5 decades from New York to Hollywood. She received a Drama Desk Award for her performance in Broadway's Working. Her other stage credits include 42nd Street and The Women. Her film credits include It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World and One True Thing. She was Thigpen's close friend and mentor.
Shop Talk evenings will be reminiscent of "Inside Actor's Studio" but with a much more intimate and immediate setting.
Tickets are on sale now for all Shop Talk evenings. General admission is $20, with a $10 student price (with ID). For a complete schedule and to purchase tickets online, please visit the LTBLF website at www.ltblf.org/shoptalk.
