The cult cinema of the 81-year-old, Chilean-born filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky emerges from the underground at the Museum of Arts and Design this fall in its latest film series, running from September 23 - specially timed for the fall equinox - through October 8, 2010. Influenced by his work as a pantomime, theater director, philosopher, playwright, comic book artist, as well as his spiritual training in Zen Buddhism, shamanism, and the occult, Jodorowsky's films eschew traditional narratives, arcs and character tropes. The six films showcased in 'Blood into Gold: the Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro Jodorowsky' depict dream worlds, brimming with symbols and steeped in mysticism, floating and colliding with the Surrealist concepts of anarchy and randomness - filtered through the hazy, acid-colored lens of psychedelia. At once jarring, beautiful, baffling, alluring, and absurd, Jodorowsky's work pushes the medium's boundaries - provoking the audience's intellect, senses, and emotions. Abkco Music & Records joins MAD as the co-presenter of this series. The MAD Theater will screen six films from his oeuvre, including:

The Rrazz Room at Hotel Nikko Announces June 2010 Concerts

Northern Stage's production of the Off-Broadway smash Greater Tuna will end its run May 2nd. This madcap romp features two veteran Northern Stage actors, Scott Cote (Beauty & the Beast, Cabaret, Moon Over Buffalo) and Kevin Loreque (I Am My Own Wife, The Full Monty, CATS, The Elephant Man, Cabaret,) playing 19 characters-men, women, even Yippy the dog-in 90 minutes. With 15-second costume changes and rapid-fire humor, this promises to be an audience favorite.

The Last Fall is a poignant love story that follows two fifty-somethings as they mature in life and love while facing difficult truths. The audience follows Rhea, an urban school teacher, and Neville, a Trinidad-born taxi driver, as they struggle with the challenges before them. The production will end its run May 2nd.

In an interview with The New York Post Christopher Walkin chatted about always playing the bad guys, Tony nominations and 'Theatre of Blood' The Musical.
