We're not trying to pick on you. :-)
Here's two direct quotes:
-------------------
[Big stars play key roles. Edward Asner ("The Mary Tyler Moore Show,"
"Lou Grant," former president of the Screen Actors Guild) plays Bryan.
Mike Farrell ("M*A*S*H," "Providence") plays Darrow. Sharon Gless
("Cagney & Lacey," "Queer as Folk") is the narrator.]
This implies these actors are actually IN the play.
--------------------
["We went over our narration to make sure that we were presenting this
information in a neutral way," said Loewenberg, whose company includes
other stars such as Richard Dreyfuss, John Lithgow, Julie Harris, Amy
Irving, Helen Hunt, Marsha Mason, Tom Bosley and Michael Learned.]
This implies that Loewenberg, who represents other actors who are not
particularly participating in the play, IMO they are just
'name-dropping' to show his credentials. It could possibly be read the
way you seem to have, I admit.
Here's a nice HH search site--I did a search but couldn't find ANY
reference that she would be participating in the theatrical production
you mention.
