What the Vatican is to Catholics, Ten Chimneys is to actors. - Carol Channing

"Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne were universally regarded as the greatest acting team in the history of the English speaking theatre. They were married for 55 years and were inseparable both on and off the stage."
So reads the epitaph on the graves of Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne at "Ten Chimneys," their home in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin.

MMSC in June

The backstage story of Broadway legends Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne!  

 

For decades, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne entertained the most influential artists of their time - from Noel Coward to Sydney Greenstreet - at Ten Chimneys, their legendary retreat. When a young Uta Hagen arrives to rehearse the Lunts' latest production, she sparks an offstage romantic triangle that rivals any onstage drama. Life imitates art in this comically revealing take on the private lives of these very public figures.
