With more than 200 years of combined theatre experience among them, our guests - stage veterans Philip Bosco (1999 Best Actor Tony for Lend Me a Tenor), two-time Tony Award-winning actor John Cullum (for Shenandoah and On the Twentieth Century), Marian Seldes (who won a Tony for 1967’s A Delicate Balance and received a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2010) and Tony Award Winner Carole Shelley (1979 Best Actress Tony for The Elephant Man) -- discuss the breaks that got each of their careers started; how they handle the situation on stage when they or their co-stars forget their lines; how they feel about serving as understudies; the audition process; their successes and failures; and they share stories of working with such other legends as Sir John Gielgud, Joseph Papp, Morris Carnovsky, Lee J. Cobb, George C. Scott, Geraldine Page, George Cukor, Myron McCormick and Ruth Gordon. Stage Veterans 2009 also includes a short tribute to the late Robert Prosky, who appeared on the prior Stage Veterans edition of Working in the Theatre in 2005.
