Robert Newman's "Curtains" opens this weekend
"I used to do theater, too, with my time off from the GUIDING LIGHT," says Newman, who stars in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of “Curtains” that opens this weekend. "I’d perform a musical — 'A Little Night Music' in Pittsburgh, 'Shenandoah' at the Barn Theatre in (Port Sanilac) Michigan. Luckily the producer at the GUIDING LIGHT always understood, and wrote me out of episodes — although I was never officially killed off."
