Bernadette Peters At The Mahaiwe 2014 Gala

WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By Sarah LaDuke
Published October 2, 2014 at 10:08 AM EDT

    The Mahaiwe 2014 Gala on October 12th will honor Jane Iredale and feature a performance by Broadway legend Bernadette Peters.

Star of stage and screen, Peters is likely best known for her film roles in The Jerk and Pennies from Heaven and from the stage for her Tony nominated performances in Sunday in the Park with George, Gypsy, and Follies - and her Tony Award winning turns in Annie Get Your Gun and Song and Dance. She received the 2012 Isabelle Stevenson Award for her work with her charity, Broadway Barks which she co-founded in 1999 with Mary Tyler Moore.

Here we welcome her back to the show and discuss concerts, co-stars, and her upcoming Amazon Original series, Mozart in the Jungle.
