Pull up a chair and break out the tissues! Award-w

Pull up a chair and break out the tissues! Award-winning actress Judith Light (Who's the Boss, Transparent) is featured in our Actors' Journal series.

https://www.durangoplayfest.org/actors-journal-judith-light/

She reads the heart-breaking, landmark acceptance speech that author Paul Monette gave when receiving an honorary doctorate from the State University of New York at Oswego. Monette, an advocate for the LGBTQ community, received the National Book Award in 1992 for his memoir, Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story.

In our Actors’ Journal video series, actor Ray A

In our Actors’ Journal video series, actor Ray Abruzzo (who played "Little” Carmine Lupertazzi in the HBO series The Sopranos) reads some of his initial thoughts after hearing of the untimely death of his friend and co-star, James Gandolfini.

https://www.durangoplayfest.org/actors-journal-ray-abruzzo/

“Somehow this huge invincible-looking exterior contained a humble and vulnerable soul,” Abruzzo says. “We all have Jimmy stories and they all have one thing in common: they’re warm, wonderful, funny tales.”

Viewing this month's Actors' Journal makes us feel

Viewing this month's Actors' Journal makes us feel as if we're having coffee with dear friends.
We've laughed at the comedic talents of Judith Light in Who's the Boss? and Transparent, sat through nail-biting trials with Jill Eikenberry on L.A. Law, worried about Ray Abruzzo's mob connections in The Sopranos, solved cases alongside Stacy Keach (aka Detective Mike Hammer), explored the boundaries of space with Tucker Smallwood in Star Trek: Enterprise, and applauded the creative talent of Broadway star Bruce Davison (who also starred in dozens of TV dramas over the years).

Visit durangoplayfest.org/actors-journal. We have 36 actor videos for you to enjoy!
