(Ten Chimneys, Genesee Depot, Wisconsin) On July 11, 2010, nine of the most respected and talented actors from across the United States formed the 2010 class of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program and embarked on a week of intensive study at Ten Chimneys, led by master teacher Barry Edelstein.
The Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking national program to serve regional theatre actors and the future of American theatre. The program, created by Ten Chimneys Foundation, is a fitting tribute to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who are widely regarded as the greatest acting couple in the history of the American theatre. Through this program, the top actors in the country are given a rare and deeply-needed opportunity to grow artistically, renew their passion for their art form, and deepen their commitment to mentorship. Ultimately, the program does not exist simply to serve actors; the purpose of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is to strengthen the ability of actors and theatres to enrich people's lives in communities across the country.
