An Evening with Tony-Nominated Lauren Ambrose

Acclaimed actor and singer Lauren Ambrose will open the 13th season of the Needham Bank Great Hall Concert Series with a special, one-night-only evening of music and storytelling at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, at Needham Town Hall. Joined by Grammy-nominated pianist, singer and songwriter Matt Cusson, Ambrose is creating an intimate evening of songs, stories and special guests exclusively for the Great Hall audience. A Tony, Emmy and Grammy nominee, Ambrose is known for her work across theater, television and film, from her Tony-nominated performance as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady to her Emmy-nominated role in Six Feet Under, as well as Yellowjackets, Buried Child, Awake and Sing!, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Exit the King. Ambrose has built a career moving fluidly between music, theater, television and film. Her connection to Needham is also a personal one: her husband, filmmaker Sam Handel, is a Needham native, and the community has long been part of her family’s life.
