* Macomb Center * for the Performing Arts elate Radio Days sponsored by Midwesterner. "As a freshman in high school on the south side of Chicago, I heard about a play being done at the Young Men's Jewish Council Youth Center so I went over and checked it out. "The head of the drama pro- gram at the center cast me in Cole Porter's Anything Goes, and I went on to Stop the World: I Want to Get Off, Carousel and West Side Stool. I just loved it all and never stopped." Patinkin studied acting at the University of Kansas, spending summers doing repertory the- ater in Colorado. He moved to drama classes at Juilliard and landed work at Joseph Papp's Public Theater. At the theater for several years, Patinkin met his wife, actress and writer Kathryn Grody. "When I was in the middle of doing a cult play, Leave It to Beaver Is Dead, I got called to work on a musical, Evita." For his 1980 Broadway debut of that show, which Patinkin considers the turning point of his career, he won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Che Guevara. Patinkin, who has been in mo- tion pictures as well, sets aside time for benefit performances — recently at the White House for major donors to children's hos- pitals across the country, soon on cable TV to encourage breast exams and at various times and venues in support of AIDS char- ities. On a regular basis, he pro- motes the cancer-patient support group Gilda's Club, which was started in memory of the late, Detroit-raised comedienne Gil- da Radner. With strong ties to the Jewish community, Patinkin has been working on a Yiddish album.
