Twin Cities acting veteran Bob Davis has been honored with the prestigious Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship. Davis, who recently appeared at the Guthrie in "Macbeth," has acted there, at the Jungle and on many other area stages. He is one of nine performers nationally to have won the fellowship, now in its second year. The award carries a $2,500 stipend and a weeklong master class with acting icon Lynn Redgrave at the Ten Chimneys retreat, the Genesee Depot, Wisc., estate of legendary performers Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Davis won the fellowship, awarded to stars of the nation's regional theaters, after being nominated by the Guthrie.
Andrew Long Coincidentally, actor Andrew Long, who will play French diplomat Rene Gallimard in the Guthrie's production of "M. Butterfly," is also a Lunt-Fontanne fellow this year. Twin Cities' theatergoers will get a chance to see Long when the David Henry Hwang play opens Friday in Minneapolis.
