    Sedona AZ (November 16, 2017) – Sedona International Film Festival presents the BroadwayHD series — featuring Broadway plays and musicals in high definition on the big screen — with Noel Coward’s “Present Laughter”. The event will show in Sedona on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “It is like having fifth row orchestra seats to the best theatrical productions from Broadway,” said festival director Patrick Schweiss. “Experience these grand, phenomenal stage productions from New York from the best seats in the house — right here in Sedona!”

    “Present Laughter” was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and Kevin Kline won the Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play for this performance.

    Noel Coward’s uproarious comedy “Present Laughter” follows a self-obsessed actor (Kevin Kline) in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Juggling his considerable talent, ego and libido, the theater’s favorite leading man suddenly finds himself caught between fawning ingénues, crazed playwrights, secret trysts and unexpected twists.

    In addition to Kevin Kline, “Present Laughter” also stars Kate Burton, Kristine Nielsen and Cobie Smulders.

    “Let us give thanks for what Mr. Kline, embodying the capricious god of his own theatrical universe, has wrought.” — New York Times

    “An absolutely splendid revival. The simple act of handing America’s greatest exemplar of comic suavity a role he was born to play is half the battle. Kline is the very model of a star who lets his brilliance illuminate everyone around him. He enlivens each moment with palpable zest and impeccable style, arrogant brio shading into middle-aged insecurity with a twitch of his perfectly trimmed mustache. He must do more Coward or share his secrets.” — Time Out New York

    “Present Laughter” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $15, or $12.50 for Film Festival members. Tickets are available in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office or by calling 928-282-1177 or online atwww.SedonaFilmFestival.org. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
