JOHN LITHGOWSeptember 20, 2012
Tony®, Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award Winner, JOHN LITHGOW, performs his critically acclaimed one-man theatrical memoir, STORIES BY HEART. He offers a touching and humorous reflection on storytelling as the tie that binds humanity. Invoking memories of his grandmother and father before him, Mr. Lithgow traces his roots as an actor and storyteller, interspersing his own story with two great stories that were read to him and his siblings when they were children. In “Uncle Fred Flits”, a fretful young Englishman is taken on a wild afternoon’s escapade in suburban London by his irrepressible uncle. In a hilarious tour de force, LITHGOW performs with zany abandon, portraying ten distinct, outrageous characters. By contrast, “Haircut” is a darkly comic look at Midwestern American implacability. It is a captivating yarn told by a gossipy barber in small-town Michigan as he gives a shave and a haircut to a stranger in town. STORIES BY HEART provides ample evidence of the power of storytelling, the magic of theatre, and the talents of one of our greatest actors.
