FREUD'S LAST SESSION Extended In Atlanta Thru 11/13

Theatrical Outfit has announced that Freud's Last Session by Mark St. Germain, has been held over by popular demand through November 13, 2011 at the Balzer Theater at Herren's. Due to sell out shows 7 more performances have been added.

Two of the world's most brilliant men address the greatest questions of all time when legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud and rising Oxford professor C.S. Lewis clash about love, sex, the existence of God and the meaning of life, just weeks before Freud ends his own.

From the author who brought us the critically acclaimed play, The God Committee. Directed by Jessica Phelps West and starring David DeVries of the Broadway run of Beauty and the Beast and Andrew Benator.
"...the play clips along with a lot of humor, keeping a Heavy Debate lively, funny and interesting." - Arts Critic ATL
