Actor Many Beth Fisher Named One of Eleven Inaugural Fellows

CHICAGO ACTOR Mary Beth Fisher

NAMED ONE OF ELEVEN INAUGURAL LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWS

 

Ten Chimneys Foundation, the National Historic Landmark estate of Broadway legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, has chosen Mary Beth Fisher as one of its eleven inaugural fellows to participate in the LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, a groundbreaking national program to serve regional theater actors and the future of American Theater.  Fisher, who was nominated by Goodman Theatre, will receive a cash fellowship and participate in an intensive week-long master class and retreat at Ten Chimneys with a world-renowned and respected master teacher; acclaimed actress Lynn Redgrave will be the first master teacher in the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program.  In addition to a prolific, award-winning career on Broadway, in London, and in film and television, Ms. Redgrave was named in honor of Lynn Fontanne – making her a particularly meaningful choice to launch this important program. 

Eleven of the most prestigious and accomplished regional theaters in the country were invited to nominate multiple actors for consideration to be named LUNT-FONTANNE FELLOWS.  All of the actors who were nominated for this honor: have 20-plus years of experience as professional actors; are widely considered among the top actors in their community; and are widely respected by audiences, directors, and fellow actors for their talent, dedication to craft, attention to detail, and passionate pursuit of excellence – the qualities for which Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne were so revered.  With the guidance of a National Advisory Council, Ten Chimneys Foundation selected the “best of the best” from these nominees to be the inaugural Lunt-Fontanne Fellows.
