Lane Bradbury Joins RICHARD SKIPPER CELEBRATES BROADWAY/OFF-BROADWAY FIRSTS

Ms. Bradbury, after Elia Kazan discovered her at the Actor's Studio, made her debut on Broadway in play, J.B. performing alongside Raymond Massey and Christopher Plummer. But it was her creation of the role of Dainty June in the original Broadway production of Gypsy with the legendary Ethel Merman that put her in the public eye. She also originated the role of Charlotte Goodall in the Broadway premiere of Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana.

Ms. Bradbury's TV credits are just as stunning. Appearances included The Fugitive, The Rockford Files, The Mod Squad, Medical Center, The Partridge Family, Kung Fu, and a recurring role on Gunsmoke. She is finalizing a national tour of her cabaret show, Let Me Entertain You - Again, and completing work on two original musical plays. She is founder and artistic director of the Valkyrie Theater of Dance, Drama, and Film, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to introduce at-risk teens to the theatrical arts. Ms. Bradbury will be on-hand to share memories and music with Richard and an amazing lineup of celebrities that include Stephanie Pope (FOSSE, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, JELLY'S LAST JAM, THE Will Rogers FOLLIES, and BIG DEAL); Annie Hughes (Closer Than Ever); Lauren Mufson (Mamma Mia!); Marta Sanders (Best Little Whorehouse In Texas).
