Dame Edna Everage, the internationally famous housewife, talk show host, spin doctor and icon, shares her world view and talks about her new Broadway show "Dame Edna: The Royal Tour" at the Booth Theatre.
Following Dame Edna, October 29, are actor Mark Setlock and playwright Becky Mode to discuss "Fully Committed," Mode’s new hit play at The Vineyard Theatre. In what Donald Lyons of The New York Post calls “a comic epic,” Setlock plays the reservations clerk of a chic New York restaurant, as well as over 35 different people he interacts with on the phone during one hectic day on the job.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
