Despite Cancer, Maura Tierney Tries ‘North Atlantic’

NYTimes.com: Eager for a rigorous acting experience after nine years on that fast-paced melodrama, Ms. Tierney arranged to visit the Wooster Group, the New York theater troupe known for experimenting with language, movement and multimedia. She ended up spending two days watching the company’s actors improvise with a Tennessee Williams play, “Vieux Carré,” and left hoping to work with them someday.

I am pleased to hear that Maura Tierney is back in the saddle and feeling better after her bout with cancer. I have always been a fan of her on ER and loved her in Instinct. Its also good to hear that she is going back to theater. I find I have a different kind of respect for actors who have done the crossover to movies and TV but then go back to theater. 'North Atlantic' sounds interesting in a serious but with a lot of levity kind of way.
