Photo Flash: Olympia Dukakis and Louis Zorich Visit New World Stages' FREUD'S LAST SESSION

Film star Olympia Dukakis (Oscar winner for Moonstruck) and husband Louis Zorich ("Mad About You") attended the Off-Broadway hit FREUD'S LAST SESSION Saturday evening, April 28th at New World Stages. See the photo below!

FREUD'S LAST SESSION currently stars George Morfogen and Jim Stanek as Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis respectively, and original cast members Mark H. Dold and Martin Rayner will return to the New York production this Wednesday, May 2nd following their run in the Chicago production of Mark St. Germain's hit play. FREUD'S LAST SESSION is the winner of the 2011 Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play and additional productions are set to open into 2013 in major markets across the nation and around the world.

Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the young, rising academic star C. S. Lewis to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life - only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Not just a powerful debate, this is a profound and deeply touching play about two men who boldly addressed the greatest questions of all time. Mark St. Germain's celebrated new play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of God by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.

Olympia Dukakis and Louis Zorich join a long list of luminaries who have attended FREUD'S LAST SESSION, including Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Neil Simon, Barbara Walters, Kenneth Branagh, Richard Gere, Peter Bogdanovich, Jerry Stiller, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, John Cleese, Patricia Heaton, Cornel West, Christiane Amanpour, Marcia Gay Harden, John Kander, Andy Rooney, Dick Cavett, Frank Oz, Peter Shaffer, The Amazing Kreskin, Celeste Holm, Victoria Jackson, TR Knight, Dan Lauria, Scott Adsit, Tina Louise, and Warner Wolf.

With Randy Courts, he has written the musicals The Gifts of the Magi, Johnny Pye and the Foolkiller and Jack's Holiday. TV credits include Writer and Creative Consultant for The Cosby Show.
