Theater Talk: Elizabeth Ashley, Julie Halston & "Curious Incident's" Toby

Actors Elizabeth Ashley and Julie Halston drop by to discuss their roles in the hit Broadway revival of “You Can't Take It With You,” as well as tips on how to steal scenes and the zen of applying dazzling stage makeup.
Next up, we have a visit from the popular Broadway player Toby the rat, escorted by her trainer Lydia DesRoche. They are joined by Elisabeth Vincentelli of the “New York Post” who was in our green room that day to shoot our critics' panel and was so enamored of Toby, that we invited her to stick around and participate in this interview.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
