Person Place Thing is an interview show based on this idea: people are particularly engaging when they speak not directly about themselves but about something they care about. Guests talk about one person, one place, and one thing that are important to them. The result? Surprising stories from great speakers.
Host Randy Cohen will be interviewing André Bishop.
André Bishop, Artistic Director of Lincoln Center Theater since January 1992, and Producing Artistic Director since July 2013, has developed and produced new plays and musicals by many of America’s leading playwrights, composers and lyricists.
Prior to his arrival at Lincoln Center, Mr. Bishop served as Playwright Horizon’s Artistic Director for ten years and as its Literary Manager for six. His many successful productions at that theater included three Pulitzer Prize winners: The Heidi Chronicles, Driving Miss Daisy and Sunday in the Park with George.
Recent seasons under Mr. Bishop’s artistic direction have included new plays and musicals, revivals and new adaptations of classic works, and solo performances. These works include Wendy Wasserstein’s The Sisters Rosensweig, An American Daughter and Third; Tom Stoppard’s Hapgood, Arcadia, The Invention of Love and The Coast of Utopia; Eric Bogosian’s suburbia; David Hare’s Racing Demon and Via Dolorosa; five-time Tony Award winner Carousel; Nicholas Hytner’s production of Twelfth Night (broadcast on PBS’ “Live from Lincoln Center”); and the award winning revivals of The Heiress, A Delicate Balance, and Awake and Sing! on Broadway.
Tickets are $10.
