Sam Waterston: November at New Haven’s Long Wharf Theatre

Several sources are reporting that later in the fall, Sam Waterston (Law & Order) will be starring in the world premiere of "Have You Seen Us?" by South African playwright Athol Fughard. The play will be at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, CT., and will run from November 24 through December 20 on the theater's main stage.

The Hartford Courant reports that the play “is set in a Southern California strip-mall diner on Christmas Eve. Waterston will play Henry Parsons, a South African history professor "forced by a chance encounter to deal with the demons in his heart.”….The play is described by a theater spokesman: "Henry Parsons, a South African transplant comes in for his usual--a turkey sandwich and insulting banter with Adela, the Mexican-American waitress. The two creep towards a fragile understanding until Solly and Rachael, an eastern European Jewish couple sit down to eat. The couple's entrance forces Henry to a reckoning with his inward struggles and, for a moment, unites four lost souls."


Right now there isn’t any ticket information on the Long Wharf Theatre web site, but if you’re interesting in attending, check back at the site at a later date for box office information.

Chris Noth, Spokesperson for Life Insurance Awareness Month

The Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE) recently issued a press release advising that Chris Noth (Law & Order, Law & Order CI) will be the national spokesperson for Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM). Chris will help to bring awareness to a problem -many families lack adequate financial protection, and the importance of life insurance.

Chris shared his personal story and the role that life insurance played. The press release from LIFE stated that


Noth grew up in a life insurance family. Both his grandfather and father were life insurance agents. But his connection to life insurance doesn’t end there. Noth was just nine years old when his father died in a car accident, leaving behind his mother to raise Noth and his two brothers on her own. Fortunately, as an agent, Noth’s father understood the value of life insurance and was adequately insured. The proceeds from his insurance helped Noth’s family during that difficult time and enabled his single, working mother to put three sons through college. Noth will draw on that experience to help Americans understand that in today’s difficult economic climate, the need for life insurance protection is more important than ever.

“These are difficult times and many families are struggling. Especially at a time like this, life insurance can be that safety net that catches a family when tragedy strikes,” said Noth. “I know from personal experience that life insurance can be the bedrock of a family’s financial security. That’s why I’m proud to be working with the LIFE Foundation to share my story and help educate Americans about the need to plan for life’s uncertainties. A family’s financial future is too important to leave to chance.”


In July, Chris will appear in nationally broadcasted TV and radio public service announcements (PSAs), which will also be available on LIFE’s website during the September campaign.

Sam Waterston Attends “Twelfth Night” Opening

Sam Waterston (Law & Order) and his wife Lynn attended the 2009 Shakespeare in the Park opening night gala performance of "Twelfth Night" at the Delacorte Theater on Thursday, June 25, 2009 in New York City. Sam told The New York Observer, “This whole experience is just a wonderful experience from beginning to end," said Law and Order’s Sam Waterston, who has performed at the Delacorte in Much Ado about Nothing and in two productions of Hamlet. " To be a member of the audience, to be in the shows, to have the sun go down, to have the whole city concentrated around this 'O' here"--he indicated the round theater--"is just a wonderful experience. Whether you’re up there or out here, it’s just great.”

Here are two pictures of Sam and Lynn at the event.
