Michael Urie Set for Westport Country Playhouse's Sunday Symposium This Weekend
The Playhouse Sunday Symposium program is free and open to the public.
Urie won the Drama Desk, Clarence Derwent, Lucille Lortel, and LA Drama Critics awards for originating the role of Alex More in "Buyer & Cellar." He is well known for the role of Marc St. James on the award-winning "Ugly Betty" television series. Other television credits include the role of Gavin Sinclair in "Modern Family," as well as "Partners," "The Good Wife," "Hot in Cleveland," "Younger," and "Workaholics." He currently hosts the Logo series, "Cocktails & Classics," and directs the web series, "What's Your Emergency."
"Buyer & Cellar" is written by Jonathan Tolins of Fairfield, CT. The comedy is about a woman named Barbra who has a mall in the basement of her Mailbu mansion. Alex More, played by Urie, is a struggling L.A. actor who finds himself with the odd job of the mall's shopkeeper. He takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of fame and friendship at the outer reaches of American celebrity. The comedy will run through July 3.
The Sunday Symposium Series is supported, in part, by the White Barn Program of the Lucille Lortel Foundation.
"Buyer & Cellar" Production Sponsor is Joyce Hergenhan; Corporate Production Sponsor is Fidelity.
Single tickets start at $30; buy early for best prices.
