Stars of ‘Twin Peaks’ will appear in Mesa this fall

Thirty-five years after its debut, "Twin Peaks" is still a beloved and much-discussed cult classic television series.

Agent Dale Cooper's investigation into the death of troubled teen Laura Palmer continues to enthrall generations of audiences and was thrust back into the cultural spotlight in January, when "Twin Peaks" creator David Lynch died at the age of 78.

Now, a number of the show's cast members are traveling around the country to discuss the show and its legacy.

"Twin Peaks: Conversation With the Stars" brings together actors from the original series; its spinoff film, "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"; and the 2017 television follow-up, "Twin Peaks: The Return." The event will include first-hand recollections of on-camera and behind-the-scenes moments.

The show will come to Mesa Arts Center on Thursday, Oct. 16.

Appearing at the event are:

Sheryl Lee, who came to international attention for her performances as Laura Palmer and Maddy Ferguson in '"Twin Peaks." She also appeared in the film and returned for the 2017 revival. Her other film and TV appearances include "Backbeat," "Wild at Heart," "Mother Night," "Vampires," "Winter’s Bone" and "One Tree Hill."
