Judith Ivey
Director of Fugue.
Two-time Tony-winning actress Judith Ivey talks about her transition to directing; why she was drawn to direct Lee Thuna’s Fugue at the Cherry Lane Theatre rather than play the leading role; what she’s learned from directors she’s worked with, including Mike Nichols and Daniel Sullivan; why she moved from Chicago to New York in order to get better roles in Chicago — only to find great success in New York once casting directors realized she wasn’t British; her extraordinary year with Hurlyburly; and why she’s willing to direct musicals, but won’t ever act in them again.
