Hillary Clinton and 4 Stage Stars on Why They Love Theater From Stage to Screen: How Broadway Shows are Morphing Into Movies
(about 1 month later)
Have you ever wondered how a play gets turned into a movie? Or do you just want to hear your favorite stars talk about filmmaking?
We miss theater, and we’re guessing many of you do, too. The next episode of Offstage, The New York Times streaming event series on theater, will feature actors, directors and producers talking with Times journalists Jesse Green, Michael Paulson and Reggie Ugwu about several of the most anticipated, and most promising, projects nearing release.
So we put together a free online event, which took place Oct. 1, where we talked about theater’s meaning, its absence and its future. The Stage to Screen event will be accessible only to Times subscribers, who can R.S.V.P. here. Meantime, anyone can watch (or rewatch!) the three previous episodes below:
We started with a conversation with Hillary Clinton, a lifelong theater-lover who, in the years since the 2016 election, has seen 39 plays and musicals in New York City (plus “Hamilton” in Puerto Rico).

Now she misses theater, and she joined us on Oct. 1 for a conversation about theater’s meaning, its absence, and its future.
Then we talked with the actors Audra McDonald, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessie Mueller and Danielle Brooks about their own lives in the theater, as fans and performers, and about their concerns during this protracted shutdown. McDonald is a six-time Tony Award-winning actress and a co-founder of Black Theater United; Harris is a Tony winner for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Mueller is a winner for “Beautiful,” and Brooks is a nominee for “The Color Purple.” We also talked with the actors Audra McDonald, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessie Mueller and Danielle Brooks about their own lives in the theater, as fans and performers, and about their concerns during this protracted shutdown.
