Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer and Sarah Valente will be signing copies of their new book “My Signature Story” Thursday, April 14th, from 7 – 9pm in the Signature’s Mead Lobby overlooking the glittering shops of Shirlington Village, in which Signature Theatre is an important anchor.
“My Signature Story” tells the story of the origins of Arlington, VA-based Signature Theatre and the history of its first twenty years, which included being recognized with the 2009 Regional Theatre Tony Award.
Schaeffer, whose work has been seen not only at Signature Theatre, but The Kennedy Center (including the memorable Mame) and is now on Broadway (Million Dollar Quartet), shares anecdotes about the past twenty years at Signature, his thoughts on theater, his dreams for Signature’s future, and advice to those who want to create a life in theater.
The book is on sale at the Signature Shop and is available in both hardback ($23) and paperback ($16). Ali’s Bar will be open and light snacks will be available.
Call the Signature Box Office at 703 820-9771 for further details.
Anybody who is interested in local theater should get a copy of this little book. I’ve already had “laugh out loud” moments on the Metro while reading it.
p.s. It was mentioned at the booksigning that proceeds go back to the theater.
