After a very long absence from New York, MT gleefully returns to her Texas roots as Aunt June. Ms. Tatum charmed critics and audiences alike when she debuted on Broadway with her creation of Jenny Lind the Swedish Nightingale, in Barnum, garnering a Theatre World Award for her efforts. Her second Broadway turn was the hilarious and deliciously evil (and Drama Desk Nominated) Milady DeWinter in the revival of The Three Musketeers. Other credits include: New York City Opera, The Sound of Music, Baroness Elsa. Regional: Guthrie Theatre, Huntington Theatre, Goodspeed, Delaware Theatre Co. Television: "Law & Order," "One Life to Live," "Law & Order SVU," "Loving." She can soon be seen as Chantelle's Mother in Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Set in 1970 Galveston, TX, "a family is brought together for the first time in years on the day of its patriarch's funeral," according to press notes. "As the day turns into night, the man's impact on his family unfolds in unexpected and surprising ways. Unbroken Circle is at turns hilarious and disturbing and explores how abuse and family secrets affect every person in each generation differently." The creative team includes Josh Iacovelli (set and lighting design), Brian Hemesath (costume design), Karen Evanouskas (production stage manager) and Dan Adamsky (sound design).
Show times are Wednesday at 2:30 PM and 8 PM, Thursday at 7 PM and Sunday at 1:30 PM.
