Exclusive: Danny Burstein, Zoë Wanamaker & Nathan Lane on Turning Pictures Into Theatre

Pictures from Home is running on Broadway at Studio 54 through April 30, 2023.

Three of the theatre's most inventive, inspired and award-winning artists bring to vivid theatrical life a comic and dramatic portrait of a mother, a father and the son who photographed their lives in Pictures from Home. Based on the landmark photo memoir by Larry Sultan, adapted to the stage by Sharr White, starring Nathan Lane, Zoë Wanamaker, and Danny Burstein, and staged by award-winning director Bartlett Sher, Pictures From Home will evoke memories of childhood, parenthood, and the hard-won wisdom that comes with both.

"I loved the idea of exploring a family drama," Burstein told Richard Ridge in a recent interview with his two costars. "I wanted to explore what the family dynamic was like, in a different way than I have with my parents.

"But also, I get to explore the idea of losing my parents and holding on to them and getting to know their origin stories. I love the fact that [my character] is really looking for something and he doesn't know what it is at the beginning... and yet he has the impulse to pursue it. He's looking for some grain of truth, but he doesn't know what the endgame is."

Watch below as all three chat more about their process and watch the conversation in full (and even more chats with your favorite actors of stage and screen) with SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
