Renowned playwright Howard Brenton's work ranges from The Romans in Britain and Pravda to 55 Days and Drawing the Line.

As an actor, Nigel Harman's numerous credits include EastEnders, Guys and Dolls, Downton Abbey and Shrek The Musical, the latter of which he also directed. He's now helming the revival of a Steven Berkoff double bill: Lunch, about an abortive one-night stand, and The Bow of Ulysses, revisiting the couple after 20 years of marriage.

There's not much one can say when you look at the resume of Ben Vereen. I have to admit I thought the email to interview Mr. Vereen was a hoax or a vile trick someone was playing on me. Now the reason I say this is because he is one of my idols and reasons I studied musical theatre in college and left to go to NYC to work professionally. We are familiar with his work with Bob Fosse as the Leading Player in PIPPIN and as Judas in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR but Mr. Vereen still continues to give us the ole razzle dazzle on the stage and on the screen. He's starred in 9 Broadway shows, has received the coveted Antionette Perry Award (The Tony), a Drama Desk Award, and a Prism Award. Nominated for an NAACP Image Award, starred in 30 plus movies and television shows, and has a huge crossover career. Ben Vereen hit the scene in Martha Graham's PRODIGAL SON in 1965 and he's been working ever since. I had the esteemed pleasure to sit and talk about his illustrious career and the current projects he's working on currently.

Ben Vereen takes audience members through a poignant and mesmerizing night, reliving his fondest performance memories, emotional triumphs and tribulations from his career, homage to his idols, and all of his best Broadway highlights.

'Politically Incorrect': an unveiled account of today's societal problems. 'Politically Incorrect' is the creation of published author, L. M. Henderson, a mother of seven adult children and seven precocious grandchildren. She believes it's time to stand up for what is true, good, and pure-before we see the next generation going down the tubes and losing the freedom from tyranny we have enjoyed for over two hundred years. Because education was important to her from a young age, Linda has earned a bachelor's degree of science and then a master of arts in religion through Liberty University's online degree programs. Even more importantly, though, she has been an Evangelical Christian since 1970. Linda has seen enough of the world to know there is only one answer that can rectify a person's life and their society in general. He is not visible to us in human form, but almost two millennia ago, His empty tomb spoke volumes as to the veracity of His claims. Today, Linda and her husband of thirty-seven years live happily together in a peaceful country village in upstate New York.
