In a statement, host Winer had this to say about the four-year-old series: "It is an honor and a privilege to talk to so many terrific, talented women in theatre who have not been asked enough questions and have so much to say. It is wonderful to have a living archive, now numbering 52 extraordinary women over four years, as a record of these women's many accomplishments."
"Women in Theatre" is produced by Betty Corwin, Ruth Mayleas and Harriet Slaughter. CUNY-TV airs on Channel 75; visit www.cuny.tv for more information.
