Stage West Production Screening - My Dinner with Andre

Join the Reel House Foundation and Stage West Theatre for a special screening of My Dinner with Andre

Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory, apparently playing themselves, share their lives over the course of an evening meal at a restaurant. Gregory, a theater director from New York, is the more talkative of the pair. He relates to Shawn his tales of dropping out, traveling around the world, and experiencing the variety of ways people live, such as a monk who could balance his entire weight on his fingertips. Shawn listens avidly, but questions the value of Gregory's seeming abandonment of the pragmatic aspects of life.

In preparation for Stage West's coming production of A Case for the Existence of God, come see the film that Roger Ebert said had "more action than Raiders of the Lost Ark." My Dinner with Andre: pessimism bordering on divine madness.
