THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD INVITES YOU TO TALK WITH TWO STELLAR ARTISTS

PRESENTED AT THE National Arts Club UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF MagRack Video IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE English-Speaking Union

MARGOT HARLEY & DAVID SCHRAMM Monday, April 28, at 8:00 p.m.

This conversation will celebrate the thirtieth-anniversary season of THE ACTING COMPANY, a troupe that MARGOT HARLEY co-founded with the late JOHN HOUSE- MAN in 1972 as a way to allow the JUILLIARD SCHOOL DRAMA DIVISION’s first graduating class (which included KEVIN KLINE, PATTI LUPONE, and DAVID OGDEN STIERS) to gain professional experience in classical theater.

Ms. Harley administered the Juilliard program during its first twelve years. Meanwhile she has produced such hits as Max Blitzstein’s musical The Cradle Will Rock (a celebrated Houseman revival that went from Manhattan to London’s Old Vic), The Curse of an Aching Heart and The Robber Bridegroom (two Broadway shows that starred Faye Dunaway), Ten by Tennes- see (a two-evening retrospective of Williams’ one-act plays, directed by Michael Kahn), and the premiere of Eric Overymyer’s On the Verge (directed by Garland Wright).

She’ll be joined by DAVID SCHRAMM, another of her first-year Juilliard alumni. Mr. Schramm’s Broadway credits include Bedroom Farce, Goodbye Fidel, Lon- don Assurance, The Misanthrope, The Robber Bridegroom, School for Scandal, Tartuffe Born Again, and The Three Sisters. Best known for his eight seasons as Roy Biggins, the brash and overbearing owner of a commuter airline in the NBC sitcom Wings (1990-97), Mr. Schramm has also starred in Another World, Jake and the Fatman, Wiseguy, The Equalizer, Miami Vice, Spencer for Hire, and- (where he played Joe McGill, opposite actress ), and in such films as A Shock to the System, Big Packages, Johnny Handsome, Let it Ride, and Ragtime. A Kentuckian, he attended Bowling Green University, where he majored in English and allowed his interest in drama to blossom.   This engagement is free of charge for members of THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD and THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB, and $10 for attendees who aren’t affiliated with either organization.
