White, who is a veteran of Rebeck's plays, will lead the conversation with the Pulitzer Prize finalist that will take place at 6:30 PM at the Eastman Kodak Company Theater.

White has also been announced to return to Broadway this fall in Rebeck's The Understudy for the Roundabout Theatre Company.

"NYWIFT is delighted to continue our 2009 'Conversation' series with the multi-dimensional Theresa Rebeck whose literary skills have enriched our media," said Terry Lawler, NYWIFT's executive director, in a statement. "And we are doubly honored to have Julie White, whose acting has brought life to Theresa's characters, also join the conversation. These two outstanding women will make this a NYWFT event to remember."
