Jessica Lange, Natasha Richardson, and Christian Slater will participate in the next of the American Theatre Wing’s “Working in the Theatre” seminars. This event in the popular series will focus on the work of Tennessee Williams; it will be held on Friday, April 8, from 11am to 12:30 pm in the Elebash Recital Hall at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street).

The seminar will be moderated by Jeffrey Eric Jenkins, editor of the annual Best Plays volumes. Lange and Slater are currently starring on Broadway in Williams’ The Glass Menagerie at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, while Richardson is playing Blanche DuBois in the new production of A Streetcar Named Desire that has just begun preview performances at Studio 54.
