Call Fosse
at the Minskoff

GREAT BARRINGTON, FALL 2021
VASSAR COLLEGE, SUMMER 2023
NANTUCKET, SUMMER 2023

There are “legends” and then there are legends. In this entirely true, middle age coming-of-age story, dancer and actor Mimi Quillin brings audiences along with her into the inner sanctum of two of the greatest giants the theatre world has ever known: Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon. Written and performed by Quillin, and directed by Tony Award nominee Michael Berresse ([title of show]), in CALL FOSSE AT THE MINSKOFF, Quillin recounts her experience working with Fosse and Verdon on what would be their final collaboration, investigating the life-altering effects of proximity to true greatness, and revealing all the thrills and terrors of walking the high wire on the riskiest platform in entertainment.

CALL FOSSE AT THE MINSKOFF received its premiere engagement at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington, Massachusetts on October 15-16, 2021. A revised version premiered as part of the 37th Powerhouse Theater Season at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York July 20-23, 2023, followed by the play’s regional theatre premiere at the White Heron Theatre Company on Nantucket, Massachusetts (July 30-August 2, 2023).
