Previous Classic Conversations have been held with Tony nominee Stacy Keach (Other Desert Cities), two-time Tony winner Kevin Kline (Cyrano de Bergerac), two-time Tony winner Christopher Plummer (Inherit the Wind), and Tony nominee Patrick Stewart (Waiting for Godot). "The Shakespeare Theatre Company is honored to host such esteemed actors and to hear their thoughts on their role in classical theatre and how it has helped them shape their craft," says Kahn. "It is a tremendous opportunity for our patrons and I have a great time as well."
