Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor Jeffrey Tambor (“Transparent, “Arrested Development,” “Larry Sanders Show”) brings his podcast live to The Playhouse stage with an interview of Emmy Award winner Dick Cavett. Over the course of his five-decade career, Cavett has conducted in-depth interviews with some of the greatest talents of our time including Salvador Dali, Katharine Hepburn, Judy Garland, Marlon Brando, John Lennon and more! This performance will be recorded for Tambor’s “Acting Schmacting” podcast.

John O’Hurley has gone from being best known as J. Peterman on Seinfeld to catapulting into one of television’s busiest and most versatile actors. From show host (“To Tell the Truth”, “Family Feud,” and NBC’s “The National Dog Show”), to Broadway star, to advertising hero (O’Hurley invested in the relaunch of The J. Peterman Company, and since 1999 has been a part-owner and member of the board of directors), this voice actor, singer, and comedian has truly done it all- including being a first season contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” (where he made it to the finals)!  Now touring with a band and performing his show- “A Man With Standards”, O’Hurley dazzles audiences with storytelling, songs and humor. A show that, like O’Hurley, has a little bit of everything!

Can he read your mind?  Or are you reading his?

Borders of the Mind is for everyone who wishes that they had gotten a letter from Hogwarts, or that someone would point a finger at them and say “you are the one!” Are you ready to cross the Borders of the Mind? Don’t miss this amazing, interactive performance where entire audiences of all ages experience simultaneous telepathy and witness mind-bending feats of psychic phenomena!  “A voice that mesmerizes…” NY Daily News
