Kathleen Turner has not yet taken her final bow.

The Tony Award nominee, 70, is making her return to the stage in an upcoming revival of A Little Night Music at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine, according to Playbill.

She will star as Madame Armfeldt in the musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler.

A Little Night Music follows three seemingly mismatched couples who each feel restless in their relationships. 

The musical is based on the 1955 film Smiles of a Summer Night, which was written and directed by Ingmar Bergman.

Hunter Foster will direct the upcoming production, which runs July 18 to August 17. Additional casting and creative will be announced soon.

Turner made her off-Broadway debut in Mister T back in 1977, months before making the jump to Broadway as Judith Hastings in Albert Innaurato’s Gemini.

The theater legend has also starred in Broadway productions of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1990), The Graduate (2002), Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (2005) and High (2011).  

Her latest role comes two weeks after she celebrated her milestone 70th birthday.

Turner previously battled rheumatoid arthritis in the early ’90s, which left her debilitated for around eight years.

Although it ultimately went into remission, Turner’s arthritis and resulting drinking problem still had an impact on her career.

‘There’s no cure for rheumatoid arthritis and I didn’t think I’d even get to this point,’ she told Daily Mail in 2014. 

‘When it blows up my hands don’t work very well,’ added Turner. ‘If somebody hands me a glass I’ll drop it. There’s nothing I can do about it.’

Turner continued, ‘At the time I was diagnosed in the 90s nobody knew much about these auto-immune diseases. People hire drunks in this business, but they don’t hire people with diseases they don’t understand.

‘Time has changed some of that,’ she explained. ‘There are better drugs now, but they lower your immune system.’

While celebrating her 60th birthday at the time, Turner remained confident about her career.

‘I’m edging now into that territory where a lot of us have been winnowed out. The competition’s getting smaller,’ she laughed. ‘Maybe there’ll be more movies because they can be a lot of fun.’

Turner added, ‘And I could still do my stage work too, so it’s a nice balance. I could never see myself committing to a TV series for years on end, but I like to pop in and do little characters. The younger generation knows me as Chandler’s dad in Friends.’
