That was a great theatre. Saw Twelfth Night and Hamlet there as well as O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. They had an incredible company of actors in 50's and 60's.Stratford CT, at one time, had a Shakespeare theater. I saw James Earl Jones play an incredible Othello there. He was awesome. Get this, Christopher Plummer played Iago. Desdemona was nondescript. Probably my best theater experience. At that time for Shakespeare plays, the cast did practice sessions at Stratford then took to it Broadway.

James Earl Jones & John Facenda...
I just read that for the first Star Wars movie which grossed $775 million Jones was paid $7000 for the voice work.
