Sundance Institute to Present Anniversary Reading of Hollywood Arms

7/2/2015 12:20pm


Sundance Institute in collaboration with Kaufman Music Center will present An Anniversary Concert Reading of HOLLYWOOD ARMS at Merkin Concert Hall on Mon Sept 21. Carol Burnett and Philip Himberg, Artistic Director of the Sundance Institute Theatre Program, will introduce the special concert reading of the Broadway production of Burnett’s autobiographical play written with her daughter Carrie Hamilton. The reading is directed by Mark Brokaw and stars Michele Pawk in her Tony-winning role, as well as Tyne Daly, Emily Skeggs and others to be announced. "Hollywood Arms" is based on Burnett’s bestselling memoir "One More Time" and tells the story of three generations of fiercely determined women living on welfare in a one-room Hollywood apartment. The play was developed, in part, at the 1998 Sundance Institute Theatre Lab, which supports some of the boldest theatre artists developing new work for the stage.
