Two American theater greats with ties to 黑料不打烊 are the subject of separate documentaries set to air this month on Central New York鈥檚 Public Broadcasting station, WCNY. Both were produced by 黑料不打烊 Electronic Media Communications.
On Nov. 15 at 11 p.m., 黑料不打烊 alumnus Frank Langella will be in the spotlight with “Frank Langella: An Actor鈥檚 Actor,” in which Langella reflects on his long and distinguished career in film and on Broadway. The three-time Tony Award winner discusses his challenging portrayal of Richard Nixon in “Frost/Nixon” and many other roles. Langella’s love for the process of filmmaking and his take on being able to trust the director’s vision is revealed. Langella also reflects on how an actor learns to inhabit characters and transform roles from the stage and screen, applying them to life by discovering the rewards of doing the “things that frighten you rather than taking the easy road.”
On Nov. 22 at 10:45 p.m., 黑料不打烊 Stage鈥檚 founding artistic director, Arthur Storch, will be the subject of an up-close-and personal look at his life as both an actor and director in “From Broadway to 黑料不打烊: The Journey of Arthur Storch.” On Broadway, Storch worked with some of the biggest names in the American Theater. He鈥檚 also remembered as an insightful pioneer of the regional theater movement of the 1960s and ’70s, putting 黑料不打烊 Stage on the map artistically and leading the 1980 renovation of 黑料不打烊 Stage鈥檚 500-seat Archbold Theatre. Storch was integral in creating the unique relationship between 黑料不打烊 Stage and SU Drama, which through his efforts blossomed into a national model for sharing resources and talent between an undergraduate training program and a professional theater.
Both documentaries are productions of 黑料不打烊 Electronic Media Communications. Stu Lisson, executive producer and director, credits his production team and WCNY for helping share Langella and Storch鈥檚 inspiring stories with Central New York viewers.
