The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute has always been a location known for multiple celebrity sightings and many certainly turned out last Saturday, Nov 6th, for the opening night of 'BARRYMORE' starring Jack Betts as the famous thespian. The standing room only crowd included representatives of stage, film and TV with Julie Newmar, Fred Willard, Rip Taylor, Thao Penghlis, John Glover, Don Swayze, Ned VanZandt, Larry Pressman, as well as Ana Strasberg and John Barrymore, Jr. The evening's festivities included a birthday celebration for the opening's hostess, Doris Roberts.

Jack Betts, under the direction of Carlyle King, offers an unforgettable portrayal of legendary actor, John Barrymore, a man of colossal talent and contradictions. Considered by many to be one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time, the production is set in 1942, the final year of John Barrymore's life and takes place on the stage of a Broadway theatre, where the actor is struggling to recreate his performance in the title role of Shakespeare's Richard III. Playwright William Luce (The Belle of Amherst) shows us the many facets of this complicated man and dazzling actor: the wives and the women...the drink and the profanity... the notoriety and the glory...in a portrait that Jack Betts brings brilliantly to life.
