David Hyde Pierce

If you've ever walked the halls of the Guthrie Theater and checked out the many images of past performances, you probably recognized the face of David Hyde Pierce. The actor, best known for his role as Kelsey Grammer's brother Niles in the long-running comedy "Frasier," was a member of the Guthrie Theater acting company from 1983 to 1986, appearing in such shows as The Seagull, Cyrano de Bergerac and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

On Sunday, March 13, Pierce will return to the Guthrie stage - not to perform, but to talk - as part of the Guthrie Theater's In Conversation series, hosted by Artistic Director Joe Dowling. Tickets go on sale February 17.

Dear Friends at MPRNEWS,
I watch re-runs of FRAZIER every night at 12:00
midnight, and am always fascinated by the antics of this unique cast of characters, who are all superb. But I'm particularly impressed with the performances of DAVID HYDE PIERCE whose acting is always so impecable and surprising. He is a master as his craft and deserves all the applause we can muster. BRAVO MR. PIERCE - . . . may your TRIBE increase!
If I lived in Minnesota, winter weather or not, I would be at the Guthrie on March 13, to hear what he has to say, waiting at the GREEN ROOM to give him a California HUG!
In the meantime -.
Warmest Hugs and LOVE,
Patricia D'Alessandro
