MARSHA MASON AND KATE BALDWIN
STAR IN
BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE
TOM FONTANA DIRECTS STAGED READING
FOR THE ACTING COMPANY
DECEMBER 15 AT 7PM
The Acting Company will
present a staged reading of Bell,
Book and Candle, John
Van Druten’s delightful
play about a beautiful witch who casts a spell over a
publisher when she finds herself quite smitten. One
small problem arises: witches cannot fall in love. The
reading is at 7
pm on Monday, December 15 at
the Pearl
Theater, 555
West 42nd Street
(10th –
11th Avenues). The
performance—starring four-time Academy Award nominee Marsha
Mason, Tony Award nominee Kate
Baldwin and Acting
Company Alums Andy Prosky (King
Lear), Chris
Thorn (Pig
Iron’s Twelfth
Night) and Grant
Fletcher Prewitt (Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are Dead)—will be followed by a
reception with the cast and director, Tom
Fontana (Borgia,
Oz, Homicide). Tickets @ $35 and $60 (Patron) are
available from 212-258-3111.
“John
Van Druten was
one of London’s most successful playwrights of the
1930’s. In
America, his I
Remember Mama, The Voice of the Turtle and I
Am A Camera (the
basis for Cabaret) became enduring hits. He also
directed the original production of The
King and
I,” said Margot
Harley, Producer of The Acting Company.
Founded by John
Houseman and Margot
Harley with Kevin
Kline, Patti LuPone, David Schramm and David Ogden
Stiers in
1972, The Acting Company has toured 139 productions to
48 states and 10 foreign countries earning a TONY for
Excellence in Theater, Obies, Audelcos and Los Angeles
Critics Circle Awards.
