En memoria – Barbara Rush y Christopher Durang

Earlier this week the Playhouse family was saddened to lose two theatrical legends who had graced our stage – actress Barbara Rush and playwright Christopher Durang.

Rush appeared at the Playhouse in El elenco de apoyo in 1982, and in her solo show, A Woman of Independent Means, in 1986.

Durang’s play, Beyond Therapy, was produced at the Playhouse in 2011.  Durang was a Sunday Symposium guest during the run.
