Patty Duke’s ARt appearance moved back

Patty Duke is switching roles at the Actor’s Repertory Theatre.

The Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress, who lives in Coeur d’Alene, had been scheduled to appear in the Spokane theater’s original holiday production, “Together Again For The First Time.”

That will not happen, ARt announced, because of “unforeseen scheduling conflicts.”

However, it said Duke will appear in a yet-to-be-announced, season-ending show, which will run April 6-21.
