A Cavalcade of Coward

Starting in March 2012 and continuing through mid-August, New York will be holding a citywide celebration of the work and legacy of writer/actor/composer/director Noël Coward. Panel discussions, performances, screenings, and readings will demonstrate the tremendous scope of Coward’s talents, with the participation of such organizations and venues as Julliard, the Film Society at Lincoln Center, Feinstein’s, the National Arts Club, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

The Paley Center will contribute with A Cavalcade of Coward, an evening of live performances by Simon Jones, Anna Bergman, Steve Ross, and Amanda Squitieri, featuring linking narrative written and read by Coward scholar Barry Day, plus clips from the Paley Center Collection highlighting television performances of Coward and his songs. There will also be a concurrent screening series of Noël Coward television appearances and dramatizations of his works.
