Watch Drama Desk presents, It's A Hard Act To Follow

Join Elysa Gardner as she moderates this fascinating Drama Desk panel discussion, "It's A Hard Act To Follow," featuring talented theatre professionals discussing the benefits, and pitfalls of playing some of theater's most notable roles. Joining Elysa are Michael McKean, Lynne Meadow, Cynthia Nixon, Hunter Parrish and Blair Underwood.

The panel took place at New York City's historic Sardi's restaurant on March 30, 2012.

Created to educate the community on vital issues concerning the theater, Drama Desk was formed in 1949 by a small group of New York theatre critics, editors, reporters and publishers. Today more than 130 critics, reporters, writers and

editors vote on the awards. Drama Desk president is Isa Goldberg and the

chairperson of the nominating committee is Barbara Siegel.

Michael Stever has worked in/around New York City as a full time filmmaker, camera man, editor and writer for over 20 years. He's thrilled to be working with the Drama Desk in creating this rare glimpse into the New York Theatre community.
