Noel Coward (Playwright) was a renaissance man of theater and film—a writer, director, actor, producer, screenwriter, and cabaret artist. His plays include Private Lives, Blithe Spirit, Hay Fever, and Design for Living. His films include In Which We Serve and Brief Encounter, and he was the composer-lyricist of songs including "Mad About the Boy" and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen." Coward was knighted in 1969 and died at his home in Jamaica in 1973.
David Lee (Director) is a nine-time Emmy Award winner. His work in the theater includes an acclaimed production of South Pacific at the Hollywood Bowl (starring Reba McIntire and Brian Stokes Mitchell), and many productions for Pasadena Playhouse including the classic Cole Porter musical Can-Can, for which he also wrote a new book, and for which he received an Ovation Award for Best Director. Lee is a co-creator of Frasier and Wings; his other television credits include Cheers and Everybody Loves Raymond. In addition to 19 Emmy nominations, he is the recipient of the Directors Guild Award, Golden Globe, Producers Guild Award, GLAAD Media Award, British Comedy Award, Television Critics Association Award (three times), the Humanitas Prize (twice), and the Peabody.
Special Event: Frasier: Unplugged
Noel Coward's plays evoke a time when dialogue was smart, banter was witty, and even everyday emotions were passionately felt. The modern equivalent of his style can be found in the classic television series Frasier. In a special evening, David Lee, the co-creator of Frasier, will be joined by David Hyde Pierce (Dr. Niles Crane) and Peri Gilpin (Roz Doyle) to talk about the making of the show and answer questions from the audience. Tickets for Frasier: Unplugged range from $50 to $250. Patrons who purchase $250 tickets will enjoy an exclusive pre-show reception with the artists beginning at 6:30 pm and premium seating in the Rechnitz Theater. Tickets are available from 732.345.1400 or TRTC.org.
