John Lithgow is already a legend, but he keeps getting more legendary — racking up a sixth Tony nomination for his titular turn in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of David Auburn’s The Columnist. EW sat down with the decorated theater veteran to talk Tony nominations, what it means to win and whether his eponymous Columnist could last in the digital age.
An innovative theatre project has been bridging the continental divide between drama pupils from Greece and the US since 1997. Now, for the first time, pupils in South Africa will be sharing the (virtual) stage. Twenty-one pupils from Sacred Heart College in Johannesburg are taking part in the TheatreLink project—pioneered by the Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC) in New York.
