Burton, Edelman, O’Malley, Mann, and Tunie Headline All About Eve Benefit

Kate Burton, Gregg Edelman, Kerry O’Malley, Terrence Mann, and Tamara Tunie will star in a reading of the 1951 radio play adaptation of All About Eve, to be held on Monday, November 7 at 7:30pm at the Barrow Street Theatre (27 Barrow Street). Directed by Nick Corley, the event will benefit the Melting Pot Theater Company, which has produced such shows as Cobb, Flight, and Cookin’ at the Cookery.

Written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the 1950 film All About Eve tells the story of Broadway star Margo Channing, whose seemingly naïve assistant Eve Harrington schemes to take over both her professional and personal lives. The movie stars Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, and Marilyn Monroe; it won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

The reading will star Burton as Margo Channing, Edelman as Bill Sampson, O’Malley as Eve Harrington, Mann as Addison DeWitt, and Tunie as Karen Richards. The cast also includes Adam Heller, Fred Newman, Jackie Hoffman, Christine Pedi, Patrick Quinn, and Emily Skinner. More names will be announced shortly.

Tickets range in price from $100 to $600; to purchase, call 212-874-7210 or email Sean@MeltingPotTheatre.com.
