THEATRE |
|
The stage is where Vincent Price got his start in acting. Before he ever set foot in Hollywood, he'd performed in dozens of plays in London and in the United States. After his film career took off in the 1940's, his stage appearances grew less frequent. But throughout the rest of his life, he maintained a presence in live theater that took him back to his professional roots and put him in direct touch with his fans. It is believed that this illustrated list of stage appearances (which does not include his notable lecture activities) is complete. |
