A diverse group of panelists will assemble Mon Jan 12, at 6:00 PM to participate in the Drama Desk’s first panel discussion of 2015, entitled “Art Imitates Art: The Enduring Appeal of Theater About Theater.” The discussion will be moderated by journalist Adrienne Onofri, a member of the Drama Desk. The panel will be held at ASCAP headquarters (One Lincoln Plaza, 1900 B'way).  From Hamlet's Players to this season's It's Only a Play, actors and the theater have always been favorite subjects on stage. The panel of theater artists will discuss the ups and downs of re-creating their professional world on stage and why artists and audiences seem to love theater about the theater. At the conclusion of the discussion, there will be a brief Q and A. The panelists are Jim Brochu, T.R. Knight, Jan Maxwell,Sarah Ruhl & Marilyn Sokol.  For reservations, please e-mail: DramaDesk58@gmail.com. Press contact: Les Schecter/LS Communications (917/854-3286)...
