Just 45 Minutes from Broadway

How I wish I could be at the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica on October 17th! That’s the opening date for Henry Jaglom’s new play, Just 45 Minutes from Broadway, starring the exciting young actress Tanna Frederick. After seeing Frederick in Jaglom’s wonderful film Irene in Time, I’m eager to watch her perform on stage as well as on the big screen.

I also admire Jaglom for the way he puts women front and center in his films, This acclaimed writer/director boasts an impressing resumé packed with such movies as Hollywood Dreams (also starring Frederick), Someone To Love, Venice/Venice and Eating. Jaglom’s plays include the award-winning Room 322 and A Safe Place – his debut theatre piece first written for the Actors’ Studio and later made into a film with Jack Nicholson, Tuesday Weld and Orson Welles.

The Gala Opening Night performance of Just 45 Minutes from Broadway will be followed by a reception with hors d’oeuvres, libations and music. All proceeds from this event will be donated to support the children’s outreach programs at the non-profit Edgemar Center.
