ACTOR/AUTHOR JOHN LITHGOW IN CONVERSATION WITH GARRISON KEILLOR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, AT THE FITZGERALD THEATER
Lithgow's revealing new memoir chronicles his long road to stage and screen.
(ST. PAUL, MINN.) By anyone's measure, John Lithgow has carved out a stellar acting career — from television (3rd Rock, How I Met Your Mother) to film (Terms of Endearment, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes) to Broadway (Requiem for a Heavyweight, M. Butterfly) and more.
In addition to his eight acclaimed children's books, Lithgow has a brand-new memoir: Drama: An Actor's Education (HarperCollins). "My first stab at a book that weighs more than three ounces," he quips.
On Friday, October 21, at 8 p.m., he takes the stage of the historic Fitzgerald Theater for the fall kick-off and 2nd season of "Conversations" with radio host and best-selling author Garrison Keillor.
