A special talkback with Campbell Scott and
Ronan Noone on Thursday, November 20!
On Thursday, November 20, please join us for a special performance of
The Atheist, followed by by an onstage talkback:
An Irish Playwright and his American Plays:
Ronan Noone and Campbell Scott in Conversation.
Moderated by Aidan Connolly,
Executive Director of the
Irish Arts Center in New York
Admission to the conversation is free with your ticket to that night's performance!
Hurry and buy your tickets now!
To buy tickets, call 212-352-3101 or click here!
In his remarkable body of work, Ronan Noone, a former journalist originally from Clifden, Co. Connemara, tackles everything from race relations (The Blowin), to overcoming abuse (The Lepers of Baile Baiste), to the joys and heartaches of coming of age far from home (Brendan). With a gift for dialogue, a keen sensitivity to character, and a sharp sense of satire, Ronan Noone has quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in the American theatre.
In an October 2008 New York Times profile of Noone, Ronan says: "I test myself through my characters...and what happens in a malignant situation...My Irish plays were pulling me away from optimism, and in my American plays I found the smile returning to my face. There's an element of joy in them and a lot of anger in the Irish ones." Read the entire article here!
And don't miss the chance to hear Ronan talk about his plays in person, together with Campbell Scott -- two extraordinary theater artists of our time!
The Atheist is playing at
The Barrow Street Theatre
27 Barrow Street (corner of 7th Avenue.)

JERRY LEWIS IN CONVERSATION WITH PETER BOGDANOVICH IN
SPECIAL MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE PROGRAM
Saturday, November 22, 2008 at
The Times Center, Manhattan
Jerry Lewis has been one of the most popular and inventive figures in American show business since the late 1940s. As a performer, director, writer, and producer, he has created an enormously entertaining body of work in film, television, and live performance that is deeply personal while offering a fascinating view of American culture.
On Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 7:00 p.m., Museum of the Moving Image will present a special program featuring Lewis in dialogue with the film director, actor, and author Peter Bogdanovich. The program, The King of Comedy: Jerry Lewis in Conversation with Peter Bogdanovich at The Times Center in Manhattan, will include discussion and clips from such films as The Nutty Professor, The Ladies Man, and The Errand Boy, and from Lewis's television appearances with Dean Martin on The Colgate Comedy Hour.
“This promises to be an unforgettable evening,” said David Schwartz, the Museum’s Chief Curator. “It is a chance to look at an astonishing career and to establish that Jerry Lewis’s importance lies not just in his work as an entertainer but in his substantial achievements as a film director. And Peter Bogdanovich is the best person to do this, as a director (The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon) and actor himself, as well as an accomplished author and film historian, and a close friend of Jerry Lewis for more than 45 years. Nobody can offer a more informed perspective on Lewis's artistry than Bogdanovich, who has written authoritative works on such directors as Orson Welles, John Ford, and Howard Hawks.”
