The reading of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1950 screenplay, which will be directed by longtime Goodman Theatre associate producer Steve Scott, is scheduled to begin at 7 PM.

Resnik will be joined onstage by Larry Yando as Addison DeWitt, Heidi Kettenring as Karen, Steppenwolf ensemble member James Vincent Meredith as Bill, Peggy Roeder as Birdie, Northlight Theatre artistic director BJ Jones as Lloyd, Ross Lehman as Max Fabian, Maura Kidwell as Ms. Caswell and Sandra Delgado as Eve.

Longtime Chicago musician John Steinhagen is the Pianist.

The 1950 film "All About Eve" was written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, based on the short story "The Wisdom of Eve" by Mary Orr. The motion picture starred Bette Davis as Channing, the prominent yet aging Broadway star, and Anne Baxter as Eve Harrington, a willingly helpful young fan who insinuates herself into Channing's life.

The film was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won six, including Best Picture.
