John Lithgow Brings STORIES BY HEART to Elliott Masie's 2011

For one very special evening, Elliott Masie's Learning 2011 conference is proud to present the extraordinary John Lithgow in his one-man theatrical memoir, STORIES BY HEART. Earlier in the day, Elliott Masie will interview John Lithgow on the ‘Power of Storytelling' - a key competency in the ever evolving field of Learning.

Following his triumphant appearances at New York's Lincoln Center and London's National Theatre, the Tony®, Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award winning actor offers a touching and humorous reflection on storytelling as the tie that binds humanity. Invoking memories of his grandmother and father before him, Mr. Lithgow traces his roots as an actor and storyteller, interspersing his own story with a great story that was read to him and his siblings when they were children - "Uncle Fred Flits By" by P.G. Wodehouse.

"John Lithgow will be performing an incredible 1 person, 1 act play, where he plays all the characters at our Learning 2011 evening celebration on Tuesday night. That afternoon, I will interview him in an ‘actor's workshop' format - exploring what makes stories and storytelling powerful and effective. We are looking forward to laughing and learning with John Lithgow at Learning 2011," said Elliott Masie.
