andy Patinkin taped his last
episode of CBS's Criminal
Minds and quickly moved
from stark television drama to dreamy
stage concerts.
Patinkin's Broadway background,
which includes starring roles in Evita
and Sunday in the Park With George,
surfaces when he joins with pianist Paul
Ford at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, at the
Macomb Center for the Performing Arts
in Clinton Township and 8 p.m. Saturday,
Sept. 29, at the Wharton Center for the
Performing Arts in East Lansing.
Citing creative differences as his
reason for leaving the series, the
singer-actor extols the creative talents
of Broadway composers and lyricists
as his reason for arriving at a new live
concert, Mandy Patinkin in Concert
with Paul Ford on Piano. (Ford was the
original pianist for the Broadway pro-
ductions of a host of Stephen Sondheim
shows, including Sunday in the Park
with George, Into the Woods, Passion and
Assassins.)
Patinkin, 55, who also has been
seen in films such as Yentl and heard
on recordings that reach from musical
theater to Jewish traditions, divides his
non-work time between family and
causes important to him. The entertain-
er and his wife, writer-actress Kathryn
Grody, have two grown sons.
In anticipation of his Michigan
bookings, the Tony and Emmy winner
updated the Detroit Jewish News:

JN: What do you have
planned for your upcoming

performances?
MP: I never tell what songs I'm going
to perform because I change my mind
all the time — just before I go on and
even during the show. If I say I'm going
to sing this or that and don't end up
singing this or that, then I worry I'm
going to disappoint somebody. It will
be a combination of songs from 19
years of theater and recordings and new
things we've been working on. Ifs about
the wonderful geniuses who wrote the
melodies and the lyrics.

JN: Do you have any plans
for returning to TV?
MP: I'll be in the PBS series The Jewish
Americans. I'm doing the segment
on Irving Berlin. It will be shown in
January.

JN: Have you had time for
new CDs?
MP: I'm working on a new project with
all cantorial music. I hope to have that
done within a couple of years.

JN: Are you a man who
can't say 'no' to charities
and benefits?
MP: There are an endless number
of wonderful causes, and I try to do
everything that I can. One of my favorite
things is helping others, and I'm grateful
for the privilege. I'm very involved with
the Arava Institute for Environmental
Studies in Israel. In the winter, we're
dong a series of Arava benefit perfor-
mances in small chapels and living
rooms around the country, and I'll be
singing a Yiddish concert. I always work
