ACT ONE

About the show

A PLAY WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BYJames Lapine FROM THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY BYMoss Hart Beaumont Theater Growing up in an impoverished immigrant family in the Bronx, Moss Hart dreamed of being part of the glamorous, magical world of show business- someday, somehow. From dropping out of school to becoming the toast of the town, his autobiography Act Onerecounts the making of a Broadway legend. Lincoln Center Theater presented ACT ONE, wonderfully adapted for the stage by Tony Award-winning writer and director James Lapine (Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods). A cast of 22 played over 40 parts in this funny, heartbreaking and suspenseful portrait of the artist as a young man.
