Geva's 40Th Anniversary Season Continues With Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 232-1366 ext. 3059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GEVA’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON CONTINUES WITH FREUD’S LAST SESSION Two great minds of the 20th Century go head to head in a theatrical sparring match. Rochester, N.Y., September 27, 2012– Geva Theatre Center’s 40th Anniversary Season continues with Freud’s Last Session by Mark St. Germain and directed by Skip Greer. This intoxicating debate between two great minds trying to solve life’s great mystery begins performances on October 16 and runs in the Elaine P. Wilson Mainstage through November 11. Just weeks before his death, legendary psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud invites young writer C.S. Lewis to his London study. On the eve of England’s entry into World War II, the two brilliant men have a battle of the minds over God, love, sex, music and the meaning of life. This deeply touching, intellectually thrilling play laced with humor and insight was last season’s Off-Broadway smash. Mark St. Germain’s play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of God by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr., professor of psychology at Harvard University. Freud’s Last Session had a two year run Off- Broadway where it received rave reviews from both the press and the public. It is currently winning over audiences in Chicago where it has been playing for several months. The play centers around two icons of the 20th century: Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, and C.S. Lewis, novelist (best known for The Chronicles of Narnia), poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian and Christian apologist. The confrontation between these two men and their differing viewpoints of God, love, sex and the meaning of life during a time of world crisis is at the heart of this exciting play. Kenneth Tigar returns to the Geva Mainstage where he appeared in last season’s On Golden Pond and The Price during the 2009-2010 Season. Tigar — best known to audiences as Mr. Kopeckne in “Barney Miller,” Becker in the Lethal Weapon movies, and most recently The Avengers, as well as countless appearances in TV from “Dallas” and “Dynasty” to “NCIS” and “ER”— plays Sigmund Freud. Ron Menzel portrays the young Oxford professor, C.S. Lewis. Mr. Menzel regularly appears on stage at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and Freud’s Last Session marks his debut in the Wilson Mainstage. He last appeared at Geva in the very first reading of The Hornets’ Nest series in 2007 in the Fielding Nextstage. Film and TV credits include Fall Into Me, The Coast, Vernie, New World Symphony and “Numb3rs.” Freud’s Last Session is directed by Skip Greer, the director of last season’s production of On Golden Pond and Over the Tavern during the 2010-2011 Season. The design team includes Robert Koharchik (scenic design), Ann Emo (costume design), Derek Madonia (lighting design) and Dan Roach (sound design). The 2012-2013 Mainstage Season is sponsored by Nocon & Associates, A private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. Freud’s Last Session is produced with support from EFP Rotenberg LLP, Madeline’s Catering, Legends 102.7and City Newspaper. Freud’s Last Session begins performances October 16 and runs in the Mainstage through November 11.

  • The Price High-Stakes Family Drama by an American Master
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, January 15, 2010 CONTACT: Patrick Finlon, Marketing Director 315-443-2636 or [email protected] The Price High-Stakes Family Drama by an American Master Written by Arthur Miller Directed by Timothy Bond ARCHBOLD THEATRE at SYRACUSE STAGE Running Dates: Jan 27 – February 14 Press Opening: Friday, Jan 29 at 8:00 p.m. “Miller at his best . the heart very nearly breaks.” – The Washington Post “The Price is one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written.” – The New York Times (Syracuse, NY)—From the author of American classics such as All My Sons, Death of Salesman, and The Crucible, Arthur Miller’s The Price is taut, truthful and deeply engaging. In an overstuffed attic apartment, two long-estranged brothers, one a cop, the other a doctor, agree to meet to sell off what remains of their deceased father’s furniture and find themselves in an emotional renegotiation of the past. Regrets, resentments and recriminations expose the high price each has paid for lost opportunities and lessons learned. Stage’s Producing Artistic Director Timothy Bond directs an accomplished cast of four in this drama of redemptive power. The Price runs January 27-February 14 at Syracuse Stage. Tickets can be purchased online at www.SyracuseStage.org, by phone at 315-443-3275 or in person at 820 East Genesee Street. The Price is sponsored by Hiscock & Barclay.

Geht es Ihnen auch manchmal so? Da sieht man einen Film und weiß gleich auf Anhieb, wem man den Oscar verlei- hen möchte. So erging es unserem Filmblogger Wolfram Hannemann, als er uns im Dezember über BLACK SWAN berichtete. In seinen Augen einer der besten Filme des vergange- nen Jahres und ganz zweifelsohne eine Oscar-würdige Leistung von Natalie Portman. Grund genug für uns, dieses vermeintliche Meisterwerk anzuschau- en. Das haben wir dann auch gleich am offiziellen Starttermin gemacht. Was für ein Film! Darren Aronovsky hat damit ein großes Stück Kino abgeliefert, das Gänsehaut (oder sollten wir besser Schwanenhaut sagen?) generiert. Und jenes kleine Mädchen, das damals so tapfer Jean Reno in Luc Bessons LEON – DER PROFI zur Seite stand, tanzt sich in der Rolle der Nina Sayers mit schier unglaublicher Wucht an die Spitze von Hollywoods Schauspieler- elite. Das ist so atemberaubend, dass wir uns den Film eine Woche später gleich nochmals angeschaut haben (ja, wir sind Wiederholungstäter!). Dass BLACK SWAN jetzt ganz oben auf unserer DVD- und Blu-ray-Wunschliste steht müssen wir vermutlich nicht er- wähnen, oder? Natalie jedenfalls ist unsere Favoritin bei der diesjährigen Oscar-Verleihung. Und mit ein wenig Glück gibt’s ja auch noch einen Oscar für die faszinierende Kameraarbeit von Matthew Libatique.
