The reading, a benefit for the Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre, is scheduled for Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Harmony Gold Theatre. The evening will also honor the legacy of Robert Redford, who starred in the Academy Award-nominated film. In addition to Ruffalo and Hawke, the reading cast will include Michael John Benzaia, Don Cheadle, Spencer Garrett, Charlotte Larsen, Tim McNeil, Rob Morrow, John Jack Rodgers, Christopher Thornton and Missy Yager. William Goldman wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for the 1976 film, which is based on the book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Set during the Nixon presidency, the script follows two journalists, Woodward and Bernstein, as they investigate and ultimately expose the Watergate scandal. Redford, who passed away in September, costarred with Dustin Hoffman in the film. "Decades later, the work remains urgently relevant, underscoring the essential role of a free press in a healthy democracy," the event notes read. In addition to its reputation as a famed acting school, the Stella Adler Academy has created an ACTion/Outreach Program that brings arts education to underserved communities, offers free public performances and provides scholarships to acting students, with almost half of the student body receiving some form of financial assistance.
