Director & local hero Richard Linklater in attendance for a Q&A after the film!
"What do you say about a movie that proves Zac Efron can act, introduces a master thespian in Christian McKay and launches a charm assault that is damn near irresistible?
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"You feel a little bit what it was like to sit in that theater on opening night."
A.O. Scott, At the Movies
Richard Linklater's new coming of age feature set in 1937 stars Disney teen throb Zac Efron (HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL), who stretches himself as an actor playing the young aspiring actor Richard who lands a job with Orson Welles (played by newcomer Christian McKay) and his legendary Mercury Theatre Company. The whirlwind experience of working with the boy genius and appearing in Welles' soon-to-be groundbreaking production of Julius Caesar as Lucillus sets his life on a new course. In that same week, he also finds romance with older woman Sonja (Claire Danes). Experiencing romance and immersed into a creative process few are afforded, Richard also learns a few lessons about crossing swords with the imperious and brilliant Welles. He must grow up fast.
