A virtual discussion celebrating the life of the late Tony-winning playwright Terrence McNally will take place June 17 at 8 PM ET on Ovee.
Hickey and Glover worked with McNally on his Tony-winning play Love! Valour! Compassion!, and De Shields originated the role of Noah "Horse" T. Simmons in the McNally-David Yazbek musical adaptation of TheFullMonty. The four artists will remember McNally and the influence he had on their lives and the world.

The film includes interviews with Nathan Lane, Angela Lansbury, Rita Moreno, Chita Rivera, F. Murray Abraham, Audra McDonald, Edie Falco, John Slattery, and Billy Porter.
McNally passed away from COVID-19 complications March 24.
