New Solo Show Written and Performed by Jack Fry Comes to the Mizel Arts and Cultural Center
Einstein! comes back from the beyond in the Elaine Wolf Theatre at the Mizel Arts and Cultural Center, 350 S. Dahlia St., Denver, CO 80246 for one performance only at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 20. Tickets are $18 - $20 and availble at maccjcc.org/jaamm or by calling 303-316-6360. Upset with the way his image has been cheapened, he tells us the remarkable, suspenseful, and sometimes harrowing story behind relativity and his struggles as a father.
It's Berlin 1914; Albert Einstein awaits news from an eclipse expedition that will prove his theory of general relativity. But Einstein is sent sideways in a world crumbling around him due to The Great War, colleagues stealing his theories, being isolated for his pacifist views, a wife who won't give him a divorce, his failing health, a huge scientific backlash, anti-Semitism, his own self destructive genius and a young son fighting for his father's affections.
It's Einstein at his peak. Until now, no one knew the trials he went through and the struggle and heart it took for Albert Einstein not only to prove relativity, but to be the father he always wanted to be.
It's the historic drama that made his hair "crazy"-subsequently ushering our modern technological age. Based on the recently released information about this curious man, Jack Fry breathes life into one of the most intriguing icons of all time.
Einstein! is Jack Fry's latest creation for the solo world. He was just recently selected as a Pick of the Fringe and an Encore Winner from the 2016 Hollywood International Fringe Festival. Another distinction includes being selected Best Actor of the London Fringe Festival for his portrayal of Albert Einstein by the London Free Press in Ontario. Jack burst out on the solo scene with a one man international hit called They Call Me Mister Fry which is autobiographical story about his first year teaching 5th grade in South Central Los Angeles. Jack has starred in various independent films and has been seen in numerous stage productions throughout the LA area. He has acted in and done voiceover work for over 30 educational films geared towards children and distributed in classrooms nationwide through Media, Inc.
Einstein! is presented as part of The Mizel Arts and Culture Center's Neustadt JAAMM Festival - Jewish Arts, Authors, Movies and Music - a multidisciplinary Jewish cultural extravaganza! In addition, this year celebrates 50 years of offering a book festival as part of the programming at the JCC/MACC!
