Beyond Glory's Lang Featured on 'On Stage' This Weekend

Stephen Lang, starring in Roundabout Theatre Company's Beyond Glory, will be featured on NY1's "On Stage" this weekend beginning Saturday, July 7th on Channel 1. Tune in to see Stephen Lang sit down with NY1's Clover Lalehzar and discuss his experience portraying eight Medal of Honor recipients.

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is proud to present the New York premiere of Beyond Glory, written by and starring Stephen Lang, directed by Robert Falls, from the book by Larry Smith.

Beyond Glory is playing a limited engagement through August 19th, 2007 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street).

"In Stephen Lang's theatrical adaptation of Larry Smith's book, Beyond Glory: Medal of Honor Heroes in Their Own Words, Lang presents the stories of eight veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, rendering first hand accounts of the actions which resulted in each of them receiving the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Beyond Glory gathers these men together in the present to look back on the defining moments of their lives and to examine the meaning of courage, duty and, ultimately, humility," as described in press materials.

In 2004, the world premiere of Beyond Glory was presented in Arlington, VA by Tribute Productions.  In April 2005, under a unique partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Defense, Beyond Glory toured international military installations, including the Persian Gulf.  It was also presented as special performance in the United States Senate.   From September 10th – October 9th, 2005, the production played a highly acclaimed limited engagement at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.
