Lincoln Center Theater's Platform Series, a forum for public discussion between Lincoln Center Theater artists and interested theatergoers, will continue its 2005-2006 season this Wednesday, December 7th at 6:30 pm with a free pre-performance talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee.  The event will be held at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center.
 
Albee's play Seascape opened at the Booth Theatre in an acclaimed revival on November 21st; it stars Frances Sternhagen, George Grizzard, Elizabeth Marvel and Frederick Weller. Seascape premiered on Broadway in 1975 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, one of three won by the playwright.

With the Platform Series talk, Albee returns to Lincoln Center Theater where his first Pulitzer Prize-winning drama A Delicate Balance won the 1996 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. The winner of a 2005 Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement, he was represented on Broadway last season by the critically-acclaimed new production of his Tony Award-winning drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? His recent works include the Tony Award-winning Best Play The Goat, Or Who Is Sylvia?, The Play About The Baby and Three Tall Women, which won him his third Pulitzer Prize in 1995.

Platform Series events take place between the matinee and evening shows on Wednesdays, from 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm, in the lobby of the Vivian Beaumont Theater (150 West 65th Street). Admission is free and open to all; however, seating in the lobby is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis only, beginning at 6:00 pm. (Speakers and schedules are subject to change. Call 212-362-7600 to confirm on the day of the event.).
Lincoln Center Theater's Platform Series was introduced in the summer of 1998. Transcripts of the previous talks are available on-line at www.lct.org.
