“As many readers will remember, Arena Stage in its first few decades was defined not only by the Eurocentric taste in plays of founder Zelda Finchandler, but also by its actors... In the 1980s and 1990s, there were newer ones, such as Tom Hewitt and Casey Biggs and Pamela Nyberg, but none are better remembered or more accomplished than Henry Strozier and Tana Hicken. In fact, at the same Helen Hayes ceremony at which Strozier took home a trophy for Turgenev’s A Month in the Country, Hicken got one for O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night.”
THEATRE | FILM AND TV
"I hope every evening you come to the Totem Pole Playhouse you will take away more love and life than the measure you brought in the door.”
- JEAN STAPLETON
"There is a hunger to see the human presence acted out. As long as that need remains, people will find a way to do theater.”
- ZELDA FICHANDLER
NARRATOR | RECORDED BOOKS | VOICEOVER
“Strozier, a theater veteran, is a seasoned narrator who voiced promos for the Discovery Channel in the 1990s. ‘We were looking for someone who was good at storytelling as opposed to an announcer,’ said Lucas, who had worked with him on Discovery... Strozier, who loves dogs, watches the DVD of the footage the night before he records. ‘It helps a great deal,’ said the actor, who marvels that the writers can fashion such clever scripts out of ‘a bunch of animals running around.’”
