Stars in the House, the daily live streamed concert series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley, presents a reading of George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man—featuring Daniel Davis (Wrong Mountain), Tony winner Santino Fontana (Tootsie), Tony nominee Alison Fraser (The Secret Garden), Tony nominee Tom Hewitt (The Rocky Horror Show), Tony nominee Daniel Jenkins (Big River), Lauren Molina (Sweeney Todd), and Tony nominee Phillipa Soo (Hamilton)—April 25 at 2 PM.
The reading, co-presented with Gingold Theatrical Group, is directed and narrated by Gingold Artistic Director David Staller. Watch the stream above.
The reading is the latest presentation of the Plays in the House spinoff series, which continues every Saturday and Wednesday at 2 PM until Broadway reopens. Director-writer Peter Flynn serves as the online reading coordinator for Plays in the House. The stream is only available during the live reading.
Stars in the House—which launched March 16 with Tony winner Kelli O'Hara—promotes support for The Actors Fund and its services in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Wesley and Rudetsky are recipients of honorary Drama Desk Awards this year, recognizing their efforts to aid the theatre community.
New shows air daily at 2PM ET and 8PM ET (though there is no 8 PM stream April 25), featuring performances by stars of stage and screen, in conversation and song with Rudetsky and Wesley. Streaming direction is by Peter Flynn. Click here to watch previous Stars in the House presentations.
