FREUD’S LAST SESSION Welcomes University of Houston Students 7/23

FREUD'S LAST SESSION, the runaway hit play by Mark St. Germain, will welcome students from the University of Houston Saturday evening, July 23rd. The show's lead producer, Carolyn Rossi Copeland, will host a post-performance discussion with the group of students immediately following the performance at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater, 10 West 64th Street (at Central Park West). This very special event will also include a Q&A with the show's stars, Mark H. Dold and Martin Rayner, and will be open to the entire audience free of charge.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION is celebrating its one-year anniversary tonight, July 22nd, making it the longest-running play from last season on or Off-Broadway. The New York premiere engagement of FREUD'S LAST SESSION opened on July 22, 2010 to rave reviews and immediately became a sellout sensation at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater, 10 West 64th Street (at Central Park West). Additional productions of the phenomenally successful play are already set through 2012 in major markets across the nation and around the world including London, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Mexico City, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Palm Beach.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION is the winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play and stars Mark H. Dold as C. S. Lewis and Martin Rayner as Sigmund Freud, under the direction of Tyler Marchant.
FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the young, rising academic star C. S. Lewis to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life - just two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Not just a powerful debate, this is a profound and deeply
touching play about two men who boldly addressed the greatest questions of all time.

Mark St. Germain's celebrated new play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of God by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.

There have been an unusually high number of celebrity spottings at FREUD'S LAST SESSION throughout its first year, including such luminaries as Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, John Cleese, Jerry Stiller, Marcia Gay Harden, Dick Cavett, Andy Rooney, Patricia Heaton, Dan Lauria, Christiane Amanpour, Celeste Holm, T.R. Knight, Tina Louise, Warner Wolf, Cornel West, The Amazing Kreskin, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The performance schedule is Tuesdays at 7pm, Wednesday through Friday evenings at 8pm, Saturdays at 2 & 8pm, and Sundays at 3 & 7pm.
