Matthew Lombardo (Playwright) made his professional debut in the 1979 production of Damn Yankees at Hartford Stage. A Connecticut native like Katharine Hepburn, Lombardo left for the bright lights of New York City and quickly built an impressive resume, writing and directing many plays both in New York and regionally. He directed Torch Song Trilogy and the OffBroadway comedy End of the World Party.

He was both playwright and director for Mother and Child and Guilty Innocence.

Other plays he’s written include House of Atreus, The Kennel Club, Trolls and Looped, about Tallulah Bankhead, which recently premiered at The Pasadena Playhouse. He is currently working on a new drama titled High. When asked where he got the idea to write Tea at Five, Lombardo says,“My good friend, Nancy Addison, who was Kate’s dear friend, (and I) were flipping through channels and Star Trek: Voyager came on, and I saw (Kate Mulgrew’s) beautiful face, and I said, ‘Someone has to write a play for this woman about Katharine Hepburn.’

And my friend Nancy said, ‘Well you’re a playwright you idiot, why don’t you write it?’ So I did. And that’s how it came about. I really…I had no intention of writing a play about Hepburn…” Lombardo dedicates Tea at Five to his mother, Julia, without whom he says,“There would be no words.”

David Rice (Executive Director, Sound Design) is co-founder (with his wife Alison C. Vesely) of First Folio, where he has produced over 30 shows. He is currently appearing in My Fair Lady, the inaugural production of the new Broadway Series at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora.

His adaptation of Dean Monti’s Why Dogs Don’t Talk was chosen for City Lit Theater’s first annual Art of Adaptation Festival.
