WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
John Lithgow presents his new one-man show Stories by Heart, directed by Jack O'Brien. The show will play Sunday and Monday nights during the run of Paul Rudnick's The New Century.
The solo show is a touching and funny meditation on the art and essence of storytelling. Invoking memories of his grandmother and father before him, Lithgow traces his own history as an actor and storyteller, a history spanning three generations.
