Actor, Pianist Hershey Felder Plays Legendary Composer In Phoenix Play

Actors often become associated with a particular character—or at least a type of character. Some are cast as the friend in a romantic comedy or the gangster in a mob movie or the too-good-to-be-true defendant in a legal thriller.

Actor and pianist Hershey Felder has had a successful run on stage portraying legendary musicians—from Chopin and Beethoven to George Gershwin. Starting Thursday night and running through October 25, he’ll play Irving Berlin for Arizona Theatre Company.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
