Hershey Felder brought Old Globe audiences to their feet last season with his portrayal of American master George Gershwin. His limited engagement as Monsieur Chopin was an instant sell-out. Now, because of the overwhelming reception he was given by San Diego audiences during his last visit, he is premiering his next tour-de-force on The Old Globe stage. With his one-of-a-kind style and virtuoso talent as a pianist and actor, Hershey Felder will bring to life one of the greatest composers of all time, the immortal Ludwig van Beethoven. You’ll never be closer to the music or to the genius who gave us these masterpieces than you will be at this must-see theatrical event!

It's a known fact that actors like to talk. Stereotypically, they like to talk about themselves: about their latest endeavors, about their past performances and about their upcoming projects. Zach Grenier is a different kind of actor. He likes to talk about Ludwig Van Beethoven. The fact that he's currently playing the composer in Moisés Kaufman's brilliant play entitled 33 VARIATIONS has him talking about the play, too. It's a very special production and it's brought Jane Fonda back to Broadway after 43 years in film, television and activism. Still it is obvious that Grenier is in love with the art of acting and enjoys discussing his current project and the musical giant he portrays in it.
