Alan Cumming on Acting: “I Am Not a Cheese; I Do Not Have a Process.”

Charming, thoughtful, and immutably good humored Tony award winning actor Alan Cumming hates talking about acting, but that is exactly what the Library for the Performing Arts has asked him to do. Having transformed himself into such varied characters as the Emcee in Cabaret, Dionysus in The Bacchae, Mack the Knife in The Treepenny Opera, plus every role in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Cumming has learned with each new production. Through the display of personal photos, rehearsal notes, and other materials, Cumming will share the stories behind his most celebrated performances, providing rare insight into the craft of a master artist.
