James Lapine goes Into the Burbs

It’s good to have friends in high places.
Last year, Bronxville’s kids heard from Marty Robinson, the man who designed the Audrey II plant in “Little Shop of Horrors.”
This year, for “Into the Woods,” Bronxville’s theater guru Peter Royal called none other than James Lapine. Apparently, Royal taught Lapine’s daughter back in the day and the ever-resourceful Royal — who’s busy readying “Into the Woods” for next weekend — contacted Lapine and asked him to drop by and chat.
The award-winning playwright and director will be at the Bronxville H.S. auditorium on Pondfield Road at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow — Thursday, Feb 28. All are welcome to hear Lapine talk about his life in the theater.
He won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize in drama for “Sunday in the Park with George,” and three Tony Awards — for “Into the Woods” in 1988, “Falsettos” in 1992, and “Passion” in 1994.
Might help Bronxville’s kids brush up for “Into the Woods.” For ticket information call 914-395-3208 or email dramatix@bronxville.k12.ny.us.
