Robert Redford came to Philadelphia for the first time when he starred in
Sunday in New York at the Walnut in 1961. Shown above in a scene from
the play with Pat Stanley, Redford (right) played the music critic for the
Philadelphia Inquirer who gets romantically involved with a music
critic from Albany during a visit to New York. Although not acclaimed
locally, the play went on to moderate Broadway success and was made into
a film version the following year. (Photograph courtesy of the Theatre
Collection, Free Library of Philadelphia.)
