TACT troupe to bring talent to Valley



LEWISBURG — Critically-acclaimed New York City troupe The Actors Company Theatre (TACT) will bring its talents again this summer to the Susquehanna River Valley with “Private Lives Revealed: The Letters of Noel Coward” beginning at 6:30 p.m. July 11 in the Terrace Room in the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell University, Lewisburg.

Tickets are $95 and include cocktails, a special Tapas dinner, dessert, and the show. For more information and to purchase tickets, call 524-7974.

This one-night-only event features the words and music of one of the 20th century’s wittiest writers, Noel Coward.

Portraying Mr. Coward will be Larry Keith, TACT founding member and star of television, film, and Broadway (“Titanic,” “Cabaret,” “Caroline, or Change”). The cast also features TACT’s co-artistic director Cynthia Harris, star of the NBC series “Mad About You” and numerous Broadway, Off-Broadway and film productions, as many of the famous women in Coward’s life.

Joining them will be TACT company members Todd Gearhart (“Bye Bye Birdie”) and Jack Koenig (“The Lion King”) and guest artist Amy Lee Williams. David Broome is the musical director. The evening is being directed by TACT’s executive artistic director Scott Alan Evans.

Noel Coward’s letters were written with a spur-of-the-moment honesty and impulse that his diaries, written with an eye to eventual publication, never match.

TACT, formed in 1992, is dedicated to presenting neglected or rarely produced plays of literary merit, with a focus on creating theatre from its essence: the text and the actor’s ability to bring it to life.

TACT’s celebrated company of actors’ cumulative experience includes scores of significant roles on and off Broadway, in the country’s finest regional theatres and in many films and television shows, have received Emmy, Obie, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk Awards, in addition to several Tony nominations.

After presenting 13 seasons of “in-concert” performances, the company took a leap with its 2006-07 season by presenting fully staged productions of David Storey’s “Home and The Sea” by Edward Bond at The Beckett Theatre on Theatre Row. TACT became a resident company at Theatre Row with its 2007-08 season when they presented critically-acclaimed productions of “The Runner Stumbles” by Milan Stitt and “The Eccentricities of a Nightingale” by Tennessee Williams, which The New York Times included in its “Top 10 Theatre Picks for 2008.”

The first production of the current season, Alan Ayckbourn’s “Bedroom Farce” became an instant hit and enjoyed an extended run Off-Broadway. Their most recent production, “Incident at Vichy” by Arthur Miller, sold out its entire run.
