Stars in the House, the daily live streamed concert series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley, presents a reading of Nia Vardalos' Tiny Beautiful Things—featuring Vardalos, Teddy Canēz, Hubert Point-Du-Jour, and Natalie Woolams-Torres—May 6 at 2 PM. Watch the live stream above.
The reading is the latest presentation of the Plays in the House spinoff series, which continues every Saturday and Wednesday at 2 PM until Broadway reopens. Director-writer Peter Flynn serves as the online reading coordinator for Plays in the House. The stream will be available for viewing through May 10 at 2 PM ET only.
Based on the book by Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things, which played two acclaimed engagements at the Public Theater, was adapted for the stage by Vardalos and co-conceived by Marshall Heyman, Thomas Kail, and Vardalos.
Stars in the House, which launched March 16 with Tony winner Kelli O'Hara, promotes support for The Actors Fund and its services in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Wesley and Rudetsky are recipients of honorary Drama Desk Awards this year, recognizing their efforts to aid the theatre community.
