Thanks for another great event. I had an orchestra seat in the fourth row to the left of the stage. There were a few minutes where the view was obstructed, but given the low cost of the show, it was entirely worth it!Written on Mar 10 2005

More Information About "Trumbo: Red, White, and Blacklisted"
Description
Legendary author of Spartacus, Roman Holiday, Exodus, Papillon and Johnny Got His Gun, Dalton Trumbo was a the top of his game when, in 1947, he stood up to the House Un-American Activities Committee, was thrown in prison and blacklisted as one of the infamous "Hollywood Ten." Though vilified, exiled and "broke as a bankrupt's bastard," Trumbo refused to be silenced. In a script born from funny and brilliant letters to his friends, former friends, fronts and family, emerges the story of a family's survival and one stubborn artist's quest to break the blacklist.
Brian Dennehy has won two Tony Awards as Best Actor in a Play, in 2003 for Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night and in 1999 for the 50th anniversary production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Mr. Dennehy also received a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Emmy nomination as best actor for Showtime's television adaptation of the latter. He also starred on Broadway in Brian Friel's Translations. At Chicago's Goodman Theatre he appeared in the leading roles in Robert Falls' productions of Long Day's Journey Into Night (2002), Death of a Salesman (1998), A Touch of the Poet (1996), The Iceman Cometh (1992) and Galileo (1986). He and Falls collaborated again in 1992 for a remounting of The Iceman Cometh at The Abbey Theatre in Dublin. Additional theatre credits include Peter Brook's 1988 production of The Cherry Orchard at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theater; Wisdom Bridge Theatre's production of Rat in the Skull; Says I, Says He at The Mark Taper Forum and The Phoenix Theatre in New York. Mr. Dennehy has also starred in numerous television movies and miniseries and was nominated for an Emmy on four other occasions - for his work in "Burden of Proof," "To Catch a Killer (The John Wayne Gacy Story)," "Murder in the Heartland" and "A Killing in a Small Town." Mr. Dennehy is perhaps best known for his work in feature films, which include Semi-Tough, 10, Rambo: First Blood, Gorky Park, Never Cry Wolf, Twice in a Lifetime, Cocoon, Silverado, F/X, Legal Eagles, Best Seller, Presumed Innocent, Tommy Boy, Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, and Peter Greenaway's The Belly of an Architect, for which he received the Chicago Film Festival Award as best actor.
