Description: 

Today on From the Vault we share compelling interviews with two actors of stage and screen, both at critical times in their career, focusing on live theater and particularly the New York Broadway stage. First, WBAI host David Rothenberg talks with Charles S. Dutton, starring at the time (1984) in the hit play Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, about Dutton’s evolution into acting while locked up in prison, among other things. Then, we move to an interview with the incomparable Harvey Fierstein, again with Rothenberg, conducted shortly after Fierstein had won Tony awards for both writing and performance in Torch Song Trilogy (1982), a potent work that also introduced to the world a young Matthew Broderick.
