THE WORK......
A CONVERSATION

Director: Eve Etta Annenberg

Runtime 1:30:25

Three friends, 82, 86 and 90 enjoy a possibly last lunch. As it turns out these seemingly staid, tea-drinking Brits were the irrepressible triumvirate who formed the backbone of the formidable Juilliard Drama Division, auditioning, training, hiring, sometimes expelling cultural icons from Patti LuPone and Robin Williams to Wendell Pierce, Laura Linney, Adam Driver, etc. They are BFF's, lesbians, indomitable,...slightly unfathomable. Dialect Coach to the Stars, Tim Monich, who taught there for a memorable decade, adds his perspective "I don't think you could have a school like that anymore" and former students, (as mentioned Patti LuPone, Laura Linney, Wendell Pierce) as well as Lorraine Toussaint, Albert Alaar, BradleyWhitford, Mike Beach, Tom Gibson, Derek Smith, Bryan Cogman, and a half dozen additional alums with something to say about the voices that live in their heads and the admixture of life lessons and trauma that was vintage Juilliard.
