American Stage Practice: Booth & Barrymore

In association with the Players Foundation for Theatre Education at The Players, 16 Gramercy Park South.

At the turn of the 19th century, acting styles were changing rapidly. In the Stanford White-designed main hall of the Players, we take a behind-the-scenes look at the original promptbooks forHamlet and Richard III as kept by Edwin Booth and John Barrymore – two titans of American Shakespeare. The evening will include scenes from the plays. In 1888, Edwin Booth founded The Players, and his living quarters can be viewed at the club. A special collaboration with The Players Foundation and the Hampden-Booth Theatre Library.

Tickets $20.
