Harvey Fierstein is best known as a five-time Tony Award-winning actor and playwright but, as this exhibition will attest, he is also a visual artist. Recipient of this year’s Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement, Harvey is best known for his stage work on HAIRSPRAY, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, NEWSIES, KINKY BOOTS and TORCH SONG TRILOGY. Audiences are also familiar with film appearances in MRS DOUBTFIRE, INDEPENDENCE DAY and MULAN. He attended NYC’s High School of Art and Design and holds a BFA from Pratt Institute.


A forty-year resident of Ridgefield, Harvey began dabbling in quilt making after watching craft shows on HGTV. With his theatrical exploits curtailed during the Covid crisis, Harvey used that solitary time to further explore the possibilities of quilting - gifting his output to familiars and donating many more to raise money for various charities. This is the first public display of his work. Asked about this show he said, “I am both excited and terrified to expose my work en masse but ready and raring to go!”

Harvey’s autobiography, I Was Better Last Night, is a NY Times best seller.
