When the beginning of the pandemic locked down New York City, award-winning actress Jessica Lange grabbed her camera and went outside. In her latest book Dérive, Lange (who has starred in such classics as Grey Gardens, American Horror Story, and Tootsie) shares the photographs she took in those early days and what inspires her artistic practices. Join Lange at CHF as she shares stories and insights with Chris Jones, editorial page editor and chief theater critic for the Chicago Tribune.
