Acclaimed Broadway actor and 2005 Boston College alumnus Bryce Pinkham will return to the Robsham Theater Arts Center stage for a Theatre Department event on March 23 at 7 p.m. Pinkham, who earned a Tony nomination for his starring role in the Broadway production of “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” will present the second annual lecture in the Matthew R. DeVoy and John H. DeVoy IV Perspectives on Theatre Series.
His talk, “From BC to Broadway,” will address the life and career of a Broadway actor and the importance of creating educational and social change through the arts.
“Bryce Pinkham is a gifted artist and devoted humanitarian,” said Theatre Department Chair and Associate Professor Crystal Tiala. “At the stage door after a performance of ‘A Gentleman’s Guide,’ Bryce not only took the time to greet his fans but also made his way through the crowd to give special attention to a child in a wheelchair sitting on the sidelines. That is how I always picture Bryce: a beautiful mix of talent, kindness, and joy. It is that model I hope our students will follow.”
Singled out for praise in many reviews of the critically lauded “A Gentleman’s Guide,” The Hollywood Reporter said: “The invaluable Bryce Pinkham emerges as a terrific musical-comedy Leading Man!”
He is now playing the role of Peter Patrone in the first revival of “The Heidi Chronicles” – which is in Broadway previews prior to its March 19 opening night – alongside “Mad Men” star and Golden Globe-winner Elizabeth Moss.
Pinkham’s BC event – which was postponed from last November due to his appearance at the famed Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – is free and open to the public. Organizers request advance RSVPs at http://bit.ly/1935zHa.
