Over the course of three summers in the 1950s, Arthur Lithgow, Meredith Dallas, and a troupe of actors they’d gathered performed every single one of Shakespeare plays, in rep, at the Antioch Shakespeare Festival, also known as Shakespeare Under the Stars, at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
This podcast episode brings together the children of the festival’s founders to talk about their fathers’ work and its legacy: Tony Dallas, Robin Lithgow, and the Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning actor John Lithgow. John, Robin, and Tony are interviewed by Barbara Bogaev.
