PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST – an evening with Linda Lavin and her husband Steve Bakunas, a painter, actor and jazz drummer – will be presented by  the Vineyard Theatre (108 E 15 St) one-night-only on Mon June 16 at 7:00 PM to benefit the company's productions, artistic development initiatives and arts education programs. The show features Ms Lavin and Mr Bakunas in a 90-minute intimate evening during which Ms Lavin answers questions about her life and career, posed by her husband while he paints her portrait on stage.  An evening of warmth, romance, humor and nostalgia, the couple has previously performed the program at venues around the country.
