His most recent film is Civil War, recently released in theaters. His small screen credits include Bruised (Netflix), Dev (FX/HULU),15 seasons as a judge on NBC’s landmark Law and Order, and New Amsterdam among many others. Within his prevalent theater work, he has been nominated for two Tony awards for his roles in Between Riverside and Crazy, and Fences, in which he starred alongside Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.

These events are part of our ground-breaking national program serving American theater. A few of the former teachers have been Lynn Redgrave (photo with Lynn and a few of our 2009 Fellows), Olympia Dukakis, Alan Alda, Phylicia Rashad, and Jason Alexander, among others.

The public is invited to the two events at the end of the week to see Mr. Henderson and the Fellows up close, and will be encouraged to ask questions of all the actors.
