Theater Talk: "South Pacific": Then and Now

With Bartlett Sher, director of the Tony Award-winning revival. Plus: encore of 1999 celebration of "South Pacific"'s 50th Anniversary, with Don Fellows and Ted Chapin. Features clips from both the 1949 and 2008 productions. Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins. The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.) The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
