Dame Angela will speak at a fundraiser for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in CA on October 8th.

Here's what I found in news articles about the event:

 

On stage, she’s wowed audiences in the Broadway musicals “Gypsy,” “Mame” and “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Lansbury, who turns 90 on Oct. 16, will next star in the play “The Chalk Garden” in London and New York City.

“She considers herself a comedian in the classic sense,” Palmer said. “She has been working from her 16th birthday with ‘Gaslight,’ and she’s leaving here to open a new play, ‘The Chalk Garden’ in London at 90.”

Fantastic news if true. Looks like the show will play London first.
