Celebrating the 100 years of the American Theatre Wing, this book is an engaging cornucopia of untold lore and never-before-seen photos as prismatic and unexpected because the theater itself.
In 1943, a wounded soldier aided by a cane limped into the Stage Door Canteen, the American Theatre Wing’s fabled New York club created to entertain the Allied forces. Two hours later, he used to be said to have left with a spring in his step―and with out the cane. This “miracle” is solely one of the recounted within the lavish book The American Theatre Wing, an Oral History: 100 Years, 100 Voices, 100 Million Miracles.
The opposite miracles are more common, if no less remarkable, told by the impassioned artists and theater advocates who created and sustained this preeminent theatrical organization, including Angela Lansbury, Rosie O’Donnell, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, Harold Prince, Kenny Leon, Neil Patrick Harris, David Henry Hwang, Harvey Fierstein, and James Corden. These oral histories trace the American Theatre Wing’s dedication to supporting and fostering American theatre and the burgeoning and veteran artists of their stories―from Broadway, Off Broadway, and regional theatre.
