YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Accomplished star on both the small and big screen, as well as accomplished playwright, Austin Pendleton made a stop in the Mahoning Valley for a Q&A event at Youngstown State University.

Pendleton was born in Warren and has been in many movies and TV shows including Frazier, Finding Nemo and A Beautiful Mind. Additionally, he's directed many Broadway shows with the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen Stapleton.

Pendleton plans to pass his theater and acting on to future generations by hosting master classes at Trumbull New Theatre, aka TNT on Saturday, Feb. 12.

"That's the theater I grew up with. It started in our living room when Alec and I were kids and it's still going strong. So I'm going to be teaching three master classes there on Saturday," Pendleton said.

Pendleton's newest work is the upcoming Broadway show, "The Minutes." The show will premier in April of 2022.
