Rob Bartlett, star of the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway play Tabletop, will be the Dec. 14 guest on "Theatre Talk," the popular PBS stage-related talk show featuring Michael Riedel, theatre columnist and reporter of The New York Post, and Susan Haskins.

Bartlett (More to Love) is primarily known as a comedian and as a writer for radio personality Don Imus.
