(1909-1997) was an actor, director, producer, and teacher in theatre and
Broadway for almost 70 years. One of the original members of New York's
Group Theatre, Lewis began his career acting in plays, beginning with a role
in The Living Corpse (1929). He continued to perform as an actor
for several years until directing the 1941 play Five Alarm Waltz.
He would go on to direct and produce more prominently from then on, being
nominated for a Tony in 1963 for Strange Interlude. Lewis was well
regarded as one of Broadway's best directors, and tried a transition to film,
but ultimately found it boring and uninspiring. In 1991, Lewis was inducted
into the Theatre Hall of Fame, with Kent State University establishing the
Robert Lewis Lifetime Achievement award in his honor. Charles Forsythe was a
theatre director and producer. Corners slightly worn. Ink stamps. Slightly
soiled. Toned. Edges slightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
