Tony Nominee Condola Rashad Gets a Sardi's Portrait

2018 Tony nominee Condola Rashad received a Sardi's portrait on Thursday, May 10.

Rashad is the Tony-nominated star of Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan at Manhattan Theatre Club. She also received Tony nominations for her performances in A Doll's House, Part 2, Stick Fly, and The Trip to Bountiful.

Joining Rashad in the cast of Saint Joan are Walter Bobbie (marking the theatrical director's first return to Broadway as an actor in over 20 years), Adam Chanler-Berat (Peter and the Starcatcher), Jack Davenport (Smash), John Glover (The Cherry Orchard), Patrick Page (MTC's Casa Valentina), Daniel Sunjata (MTC's The Country House), Maurice Jones (MTC's Linda), Russell G. Jones (MTC's Ruined), Max Gordon Moore (Indecent), Matthew Saldivar (MTC's Important Hats of the 20th Century), Robert Stanton (MTC's Fuddy Meers), and Lou Sumrall (Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune).

Set in 15th-century France, Saint Joan follows a country girl whose mysterious visions propel her into elite circles. When the nation's rulers become threatened by her popularity and influence, they unite to bring her down, and she finds herself on trial for her life. This timeless and powerful play dramatizes the limits of an individual in a society dominated by overwhelming political and religious forces.
