The Drama League has announced its fall 2013 programming schedule. Performances and events will include appearances by Tony Award winners Laura Benanti, Cherry Jones, and Judy Kaye as well as Tony Danza, theater journalist Peter Filichia, and conductor/composer David Friedman.

Events will include workshops for actors, directors, and other artists, such as classes in Butoh, an avant-garde Japanese physical discipline, and a weekend workshop exploring Strindberg’s Miss Julie with the internationally acclaimed director Petar Todorov.

The October calendar also includes a prerelease concert of the studio recording of the new musical Perfect Picture featuring Debbie Gravitte, Andrea McArdle, and Lillias White.
