On Monday, March 22nd, Ten Chimneys Foundation launched its 2010 season of programs with our highly-acclaimed collaboration with Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s Artistic Internship Program. In the tradition of the bygone “golden age of radio,” this engaging series allows audiences to see and hear the next generation of professional actors recreate plays related to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, the “golden couple of Broadway.” On Monday, these remarkable young actors read the George Bernard Shaw comedy, Pygmalion, which was famously adapted into My Fair Lady.
If you missed out on Pygmalion...we welcome you to attend our next Public Program:
Saturday, April 10, 8:00 P.M.
Conversations at Ten Chimneys with Dick Van Patten
Dick Van Patten is best known for playing mild-mannered fathers in movies and on TV. He started as a child actor, playing alongside Broadway stars such as Melvyn Douglas and Tallulah Bankhead. As a teenager, he spent three years playing the son of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in O Mistress Mine (winning the role over a young Marlon Brando). In our first Conversation at Ten Chimneys of 2010, Mr. Van Patten will share stories about his life, his career, and the fascinating people he’s known along the way. After the conversation, Mr. Van Patten will be available to sign copies of his new memoir, Eighty Is Not Enough. Books will be available for sale at Ten Chimneys, and book/ticket packages are available. For more information or to reserve tickets, please call (262) 968-4110.
