It’s a beautiful day with actress, singer, and Tony winner Maryann Plunkett. You Might Know Her From A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Little Women, Center Stage, The Squid and the Whale, and Broadway productions of Me and My Girl, The Crucible, and Sunday in the Park with George. Maryann gave us the skinny on playing the piano to play Joanne Rogers, receiving the highest compliment from legendary playwright Arthur Miller, and enduring the horrors of Los Angeles. Plus we go deep on her guest spot as Lieutenant Commander Susanna Leijten on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Will she be on Picard? We are here to “make it so."
