Play Readings at Ten Chimneys
Idiot’s Delight by Robert E. Sherwood
Idiot’s Delight won the 1936 Pulitzer Prize for playwright Robert E. Sherwood and will serve as the final reading for the talented 2008-09 class of Rep Interns. This play was one of Alfred Lunt’s favorite comedies – perhaps because the story was his idea!

Conversations at Ten Chimneys
120 Years of Broadway
Renowned New York Theatre critic Leonard Jacobs will share a feast of iconic photographs and engaging anecdotes, drawn from his well-reviewed new book about Broadway from 1850-1970 (including the Lunts’ 45 years on the Great White Way).
Our Play Readings and Conversations are $15/person by advance reservation or $20/person at the door. Music in the Drawing Room is $100/person.
