Jane Fonda talks with Michael Ritchie about her life, career and her work in "33 Variations." The Artistic Director's Circle members work in close connection with Michael Ritchie to provide support, through high level gifts in the six-figure range, to specific areas of his strategic artistic vision for Center Theatre Group. Members of the ADC gather periodically with Ritchie in private settings or for special events at CTG's theatres; they have traveled to New York for a workshop presentation of Kander and Ebb's "Curtains" and as far afield as London and Edinburgh for theatre and the Fringe festival.
Some of the initiatives and productions supported by members of the Artistic Director's Circle include Open Captioning, New Play Production programs, the Up Close Dialogue Series, "Dead End," "Curtains," "9 t0 5: The Musical," "Leap of Faith," "13," "Parade," "Sleeping Beauty Wakes" and the Kirk Douglas Theatre.
