New York Public Library for the Performing Arts hosts an interview of Broadway producer Pat Addiss by journalist and theatre critic Roma Torre October 17 at 6 PM. The event, open to the public, features an audience Q&A session.
Addiss has produced more than 20 shows both on Broadway and Off-Broadway, including Little Women, Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life, Spring Awakening, and more. The evening is presented as part of an ongoing partnership between the League of Professional Theatre Women (LPTW) and the Library on their Oral History Project. LPTW recently kicked off its 40th anniversary season with a birthday event September 20, and will present The Lucille Lortel Awards, The Theatre Women Awards, and the Rachel Crothers Leadership Award.
