"Leading Ladies" and Tony Award winners Blair Brown (Best Featured Actress Tony Award for Copenhagen in 2000), Blythe Danner (1970 Tony Award for Butterflies Are Free), Swoosie Kurtz (1981 Featured Actress Tony for Fifth of July and 1986 Featured Actress Tony for The House of Blue Leaves) and Julie White (2007 Tony Award for her performance in The Little Dog Laughed) share their thoughts on their careers on stage, from the difference between working in plays and musicals, to whether they still audition for roles, to the experience of working with living playwrights -- and whether they feel they ever have any power on a production.

Leading Ladies - December, 2006

For more than 30 years the American Theatre Wing has been bringing together performers, directors, playwrights, designers, choreographers, producers and behind-the-scenes personnel from the American and international theatre, WIT offers a rare opportunity for students and audiences to see the people who create theatre engaged in thoughtful conversation with one another. With more than 600 past guests, the seminars have become an unequalled archive of theatrical talk, a chance to hear from the people behind the characters, stories and productions that draw us to the theatre. We have collected the Tony Award winners who have appeared on Working In The Theatre.
