CLOSING EVENT—FROM THE PAGE TO THE STAGE: CALL ME IZZY ROUNDTABLE
Sunday, March 29
2:30 – 3:45 PM—Festival Closing Event
FROM THE PAGE TO THE STAGE: CALL ME IZZY ROUNDTABLE
Cash bar available, so grab a cocktail so we can toast to Tennessee and close out our 40th anniversary!
Go behind the scenes for a glimpse of what it’s like for a playwright to see the words on the page become lines spoken by actors on the stage. Our focus is Call Me Izzy, the Broadway tour de force that brought Jean Smart back to the stage. We begin with music: Adam Lozoya, ragtime virtuoso and composer, will play from the score of Call Me Izzy, composed by Grammy and Oscar-winning musician T-Bone Burnett and David Mansfield, a long-time collaborator of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. The show’s playwright, Jamie Wax, and two-time Tony award nominee Johanna Day will present some selections from the poetry and monologues of the play. They will be joined by producer Charles D. Urstadt for a lively conversation hosted by Festival fave and Obie winner, actress Brenda Currin.
Hotel Monteleone, Queen Anne Ballroom, free and open to the public.
(You can select this event to add it to your schedule, but it’s free!)
