Kathleen Chalfant to Join Melissa Errico, Matthew Modine in More Between Heaven and Earth

Tony Award nominee Kathleen Chalfant will join the previously reported Emmy nominee Matthew Modine and Tony nominee Melissa Errico in More Between Heaven and Earth, a Salon/Sanctuary Concert at The Abigail Adams Smith Auditorium in New York City, on Saturday, December 17at 8pm. Erica Gould will direct.

This unique dramatic presentation is drawn from the passionate letters of Thomas Jefferson and painter/composer/musician Maria Cosway, intertwined with the performance of music mentioned in their correspondance, including works by Sacchini, Hewitt, and rarely performed compositions by Cosway herself.

Performers will also include Jessica Gould, soprano and Karim Sulayman, tenor with Members of the Clarion Society Orchestra.

Chalfant won the Obie Award, Drama Desk Award, Lucille Lortel Award, Drama League Award and Los Angeles Ovation Award for her performance as Vivian Bearing in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Wit. In addition, she was Tony-nominated for her performance as Hannah Pitt in Tony Kushner’s Angels in America: Millennium Approaches. Among her most recent stage appearances are Family Week, Prophecy, and A Delicate Balance.

The evening will benefit Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
