Deanna Dunagan is tearing up Broadway as the jaw-droppingly cruel matriarch of “August: Osage County,” for which she won the 2008 Tony Award. She’s nicer in real life. Pinky swear.
She’s the featured reader in the season-opening “Stories on Stage,” a popular series in which actors read excerpts from themed stories.
For Sunday’s “Heroes & Wannabes,” Dunagan reads from “Chivalry,” by Neil Gaiman. Other readers include Jonathan Nichols, Randy Moore, Kathleen Brady, Mat Hostetler and Laurence Curry.
Readings take place at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7, only, at the Stage Theatre at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. $22. For more information, call 303-494-0523 or go to
Audio bonus: Dunagan talks about “Stories on Stage”
