John Cassavetes and the Birth of American Independent Filmmaking

FULL DESCRIPTION

A SPECIAL EVENT – Part of our AUTHENTIC ATL SERIES featuring local playwrights.

Authenticity Theater is proud to be a co-presenter of the original play INDEPENDENT – JOHN CASSAVETES AND THE BIRTH OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENT FILMMAKING. This inspiring play is about actor/filmmaker John Cassavetes and his lasting influence on the film world. Using Cassavetes’ own words, the audience takes a journey from the tough streets of New York City to the conformity of Hollywood to the realization that freedom lies in carving one’s own path.

Featuring Taurean Cavins-Flores as John Cassavetes and Madeline Brashier as Gena Rowlands.

6 performances – April 25, 26 and May 2, 3/7:30pm, plus April 27 and May 4/4:00pm. at Limelight Theater in Atlanta.

Written and Directed by John D. Babcock, III
