Off Broadway Theater To Be Named After Lynn Redgrave

The Culture Project’s main stage theater at 45 Bleecker Street is being renamed the Lynn Redgrave Theater to honor the late British actress.

Allan Buchman, the Project’s founder and artistic director, said that the renaming ceremony and commemorative gala to honor Redgrave will be held on June 3, and will feature her sister Vanessa Redgrave, Liam Neeson and her three children. “To be entrusted with the preservation of even a small portion of Lynn’s legacy is a glorious honor,” Mr. Buchman said. “We hope to infuse her passions in the area of playwriting, education, and the joy of acting into all of our endeavors.”

Lynn Redgrave, who died in 2010, appeared multiple times on the Bleecker Street stage, including in “The Exonerated” and, most recently, with her sister Vanessa and brother Corin in “A Question of Impeachment.”
