ST. LOUIS ACTORS’ STUDIO PROUDLY PRESENTs
AN EVENING WITH DR. MARK VONNEGUT
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s son to speak about his late father for one night only
WHAT: St. Louis Actors’ Studio is honored to bring Dr. Mark Vonnegut to St. Louis to present “Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.: His Life, Art & Politics” for one night only—Friday, Dec. 5, 2008, 8 p.m.—at The Ethical Society. Dr. Vonnegut will read pieces of his father’s writings, present his fine art and discuss his ideologies and political viewpoints.
“Kurt Vonnegut has had a life-long impact on me. Not since Mark Twain, have we had an American writer and humorist care so much about this country and our place in history. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. fought for us in WWII and every time he sat behind the typewriter. We are very proud to present this evening as part of our “Power and Politics” season” says William Roth, founder and producing director of the St. Louis Actors’ Studio.
Dr. Vonnegut, notable on his own merits for having written “The Eden Express” in 1975 about this own battle with mental illness that went on to help others understand the disease, is currently a pediatrician practicing in Massachusetts.
St. Louis Actors' Studio (STLAS), founded by William Roth, Milton Zoth and David Wassilak, strives to bring a fresh vision to theatre in St. Louis. Housed in The Gaslight Theater, a new venue in historic Gaslight Square, STLAS is committed to bringing engaging theatrical experiences to our community of actors, writers, producers, filmmakers and all patrons of the arts; and to provide a strong ensemble environment to foster learning and artistic expression.
