The panel of performers - Jane Alexander ("Shadowlands"), Stockard Channing ("Six Degrees of Separation"), Sarah Jessica Parker ("The Substance Of Fire"), Jonathan Pryce ("Miss Saigon"), Ron Rifkin ("The Substance Of Fire"), Mercedes Ruehl ("Lost In Yonkers"), and Topol ("Fiddler on the Roof") - discuss playing the same role over the years, finding a rhythm in one's performance, learning about one's character during the rehearsal process, gaining discipline, and how each performer got their start.
