2014 Flashback: This Year Backstage with Richard Ridge

Screen Actors Guild Foundation and Broadway World partnered for the first time this year for a filmed Conversations Q&A series to recognize and celebrate the vibrant theatre community in NYC and the union actors who aspire to have a career on the stage and screen.

BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge has moderated some fascinating discussions throughout 2014, including interviews with dynamic, best-friend duo Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, leading ladies Audra McDonald, Kelli O'Hara, Estelle Parsons, Vanessa Redgrave, and more!
