CUNY To Air Panel w/ Daniels, Dennehy, Schreiber, Spacey

The American Theatre Wing's "Working in the Theatre" will go in-depth with four acclaimed leading men on CUNY TV on Sunday, May 20 at 5 p.m. The segment will repeat on Friday, May 25 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 26 at 11 a.m., and Sunday, May 27 at 5 p.m.  The program becomes available as streaming audio and podcast from the American Theatre Wing's website beginning Tuesday, May 22.

Jeff Daniels (Blackbird, Redwood Curtains; the films Terms of Endearment, The Squid and the Whale), Brian Dennehy (Inherit the Wind, Tony Award-winner for Death of a Salesman; Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet), Liev Schreiber (Talk Radio, Tony Award for Glengarry Glen Ross; The Painted Veil, The Manchurian Candidate) and Kevin Spacey (A Moon for the Misbegotten, The Iceman Cometh, Old Vic Artistic Director; Oscar-winner for The Usual Suspects and American Beauty) – discuss a wide array of topics, including whether they prefer rehearsal to performance, their experience in long runs and how great plays can carry actors along, the acting opportunities of appearing in many plays by the same author, how they find new challenges, whether they can still enjoy theatre as a member of the audience, and if its harder to do their work now that they're well-known.

The ATW "Working in the Theatre" panels "bring together theatre's best-known performers, producers, playwrights, directors, choreographers, composers, agents and others for peer-to-peer conversation about the art, the craft and the business of theatre," according to press materials.
