Judith Ivey and Jayne Houdyshell Set for Panel at The Freeman Studio, 3/2

This weekend, The Freeman Studio continues its popular series of free industry panels and talks in which distinguished theatre artists and executives are invited to explore a wide range of topics.

On Sunday March 2 at 2pm, NY Theatre Workshop casting director Jack Doulin and Studio head Scott Freeman co-moderate a special panel featuring Judith Ivey and Jayne Houdyshell, two of America's most versatile actors. The third in a series called "Acting Aloud" in which Doulin and Freeman coax out the ideas, values and techniques of a riveting range of actors and theatre professionals, this talk is bound to crackle with excitement and humor.
