ACTORS WHO TAKE THEIR CUE FROM GOD

with contributions from Georgia Engel, Cliff Bemis, Mark Ledbetter

A conversation with two Christian Scientists from the cast of the Tony-Award-winning Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone.

It just happens that the cast of the highly successful touring production of the Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone includes three Christian Scientists. This revved-up spoof of a 1920s song-and-dance frolic won no fewer than five Tony Awards in 2006.

The actors include Georgia Engel, who was in the original cast on Broadway and is widely known for her roles in several acclaimed TV shows; musician, and stage and screen actor, Cliff Bemis, whom audiences may know as the TV spokesman for the International House of Pancakes; and actor, singer, and dancer, Mark Ledbetter, who has played in several Broadway shows and made two movies.
